Since a long illness in January, 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Childcare and after-school care: $270
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you, Cengiz. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Agra this morning. Greetings from Agra
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Niterói but we're thinking of you.
You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Munich but we're thinking of you.
