Last July 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $85
• Groceries and school meals: $75
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
Every share and every dollar helps.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Babar
Sure. The biggest one is rent top-up, $280. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for asking.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Babar. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Santarém.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. God bless.
