Back on our feet: Dinusha and two young children in Dehiwala
A single parent in Dehiwala needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Dinusha retrains.
🇱🇰 Western, Sri Lanka778 views
After a long illness in March, 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $190
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Dehiwala!
Thank you. If you're in Dehiwala I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Epe donated after I showed her your page. Take care
