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.

keep going, Angel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Ubud donated after I showed her your page.
Sending strength, Angel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
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
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.
