Corpus Christi
After a long illness in April, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $2,000 goes: โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $690 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $570 โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $740 Thanks for reading all this. - Caleb
