After a long illness in February, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $350 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $120
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ishara.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. childcare and after-school care is the biggest at $180. Thanks, that means a lot.
take care. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Rooting for you, Ishara. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
