Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Rent top-up: $990
• Childcare and after-school care: $890
• Groceries and school meals: $950
• Course fees and exam costs: $920

We're at 31% thanks to 20 of you. I made the first payment toward rent top-up. More news soon.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 52% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Small update. $2,331 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Parramatta.
Wishing you the best, Lộc. This could happen to any of us. Love from Bandung.
Sending good thoughts, Lộc. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless.
take care, Lộc. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
