Last June I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $3,150 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $790 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,100 • Rent top-up: $1,260 Thank you so much. - Angel

    keep going, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Ubud donated after I showed her your page.

    • Dereje Dawit Mekonnen

      Sending strength, Angel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

      • Tomoya Takeshi Mori

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 10 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless

          Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking

          • Ilaria Palmieri

            Good luck, Angel. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.

              Thinking of you and your family, Angel. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 30 people at work. Greetings from Dundee.
