After a long illness in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $700 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $125
• Course fees and exam costs: $155
• Rent top-up: $420
If you're reading this, thank you.

You're not alone, Chai. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Chai?
thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Bangkok.
Sending strength, Chai. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Manchester.
