Since the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 September, 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: $200
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $75
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hang in there, Naveen. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Thủ Đức donated after I showed her your page.
best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Wrocław.
Sending love, Naveen. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Cox's Bazar this morning. Thinking of Coimbatore.
Good luck, Naveen. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
