After my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $340
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $250
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
With deep gratitude,
Duangjai

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Duangjai.
hang in there, Duangjai. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.
You're not alone, Duangjai. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up. Take care
sending good thoughts, Duangjai. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Colombo.
