Back on our feet: Bảo and three children under 11 in Thủ Đức

Bảo and three children under 11 need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 November, 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: $220 • Childcare and after-school care: $135 • Groceries and school meals: $100 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 Thank you for reading my story.
