Since a house fire in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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 $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $210
• Childcare and after-school care: $90
• Groceries and school meals: $60
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Adama
Thank you. If you're in Adama I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Rooting for you, Million. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Chicago.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Noida.
Thinking of you, Million. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Adama.
Sending strength, Million. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
Good luck, Million. Hope this works out for you. We're a small family in Guarulhos but we're thinking of you.
Rooting for you, Million. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
stay strong. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta Selatan so I could bring a meal. All the best.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Ahmedabad.
