Medan
Last March I went through a divorce, and 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $145 • Childcare and after-school care: $155 • Groceries and school meals: $135 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Fitria
