Since a divorce in September, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $155
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Dewi. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Cầu Giấy.
