Last May I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $4,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,250
• Childcare and after-school care: $960
• Groceries and school meals: $640
• Course fees and exam costs: $350
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Wishing you the best, Claudia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Sending strength, Claudia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Quezon City
Wishing you peace, Claudia. Hope you get there. Blessings
