Dallas
After a long illness in May, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 July, 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 $3,400 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,900 • Childcare and after-school care: $790 • Course fees and exam costs: $710 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Munich so I could bring a meal.

      thinking of you, Megan. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings.

        Thinking of you, Megan. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 26 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          Wishing you the best, Megan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
