Back on our feet: Jiraporn and three children under 6 in Phuket
A single parent in Phuket needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Jiraporn retrains.
🇹🇭 Thailand993 views
Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $1,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $620
• Childcare and after-school care: $320
• Groceries and school meals: $200
• Course fees and exam costs: $160
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck. Hope you get there. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jiraporn
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $620. Happy to explain more.
Rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Sheffield so I could bring a meal. God bless.
hang in there, Jiraporn. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Mukono.
sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Phuket.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Cartagena.
Hope it all works out. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
