Back on our feet: Mi-sook and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Mapo
A single father in Mapo needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Mi-sook retrains.

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 $1,600 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $260
• Rent top-up: $830
• Groceries and school meals: $510
Thanks for reading all this.

Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Durham!
Hope it all works out, Mi-sook. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Akron donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Sending strength, Mi-sook. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Los Angeles.
