After a long illness in June, I'm now raising two young 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 $1,300 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $240
• Rent top-up: $570
• Childcare and after-school care: $490
With deep gratitude,
Daniel

Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Thinking of you, Daniel. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care
Good luck. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Radom so I could bring a meal
hope things get better soon, Daniel. Your post was clear and honest
