Back on our feet: Intan and four children in Bandung
A single parent in Bandung needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Intan retrains.

Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $230
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Childcare and after-school care: $90
Glad we found this place.

You're not alone, Intan. Shared this with my family. Love from Thane.
looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Bangkok
Sending love, Intan. Hope you get there. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
hope things get better soon, Intan. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this, Intan. 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.
