Back on our feet: Heru and twin daughters in Surakarta
Heru and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇮🇩 Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia933 views
Last February I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $175
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

best of luck, Heru. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Surakarta.
