Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $570
• Childcare and after-school care: $340
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

How is Alexei doing now?
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Stay strong, Alexei. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Davao City so I could bring a meal. All the best
