After my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 March, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $210
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $110
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Citra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Please keep us posted. Blessings
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Bali. I'll ask around and let you know!
