Back on our feet: Công and twin daughters in Arlington

Last July I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 October, 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $4,750 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,800 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,100 • Groceries and school meals: $980 • Course fees and exam costs: $870 Every share and every dollar helps.
