Back on our feet: Ika and four children in Bekasi

Last April I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 August, 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: • Groceries and school meals: $180 • Course fees and exam costs: $105 • Rent top-up: $265 Every share and every dollar helps.
