After a long illness in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $3,500 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $1,100 • Childcare and after-school care: $660 • Rent top-up: $1,740 With deep gratitude, Frank

  • Best of luck, Frank. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Bogor.

    • so sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings

      • rooting for you, Frank. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Miami.

        • Hang in there, Frank. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Seville so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Toronto.

            Sending strength, Frank. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best!
