Back on our feet: Jasmine and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Quezon City

Jasmine and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in September, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 November, 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $220 • Childcare and after-school care: $185 • Groceries and school meals: $115 • Course fees and exam costs: $130 Every share and every dollar helps. - Jasmine

    sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Kharkiv!
