Since a long illness in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, but I need to bridge the gap until then.
Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them.
Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,600
• Childcare and after-school care: $870
• Groceries and school meals: $930
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alexandra.
Rent top-up is $1,600 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Keep going. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
praying for you, Alexandra. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Kozhikode
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Praying for you, Alexandra. Hope this works out for you. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
