Back on our feet: Boonmee and two young children in Pattaya

Boonmee and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $550 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $240 • Groceries and school meals: $190 • Course fees and exam costs: $120 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Boonmee

    This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Riverside donated after I showed her your page.

        thinking of you, Boonmee. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Salvador.

            best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal.

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Boonmee

              • Boonmee Pongsak AmpaiOwnerAnswer

                Sure. The biggest one is childcare and after-school care, $240. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.

                Hang in there, Boonmee. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Makati this morning. Greetings from Makati.
