Calamba

Since my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 January, 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 $400 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $100 • Groceries and school meals: $115 • Rent top-up: $185 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
