Back on our feet: Lukman and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Jakarta Barat

After my partner leaving, Lukman is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $550 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Jakarta Barat
Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $145 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $115 • Course fees and exam costs: $60 Thanks for reading all this.

        Best of luck, Lukman. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Durham so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Bang Khen
