Back on our feet: Jerome and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Quezon City

Jerome and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Quezon City
Since my partner leaving in June, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 September, 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $330 • Course fees and exam costs: $80 • Childcare and after-school care: $240 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Jerome

    Thanks for sharing this, Jerome. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal. Take care

      Hang in there, Jerome. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 4 people at work. Thinking of Quezon City.
