Negombo
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 retail cashier, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $500 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $180 • Course fees and exam costs: $125 • Rent top-up: $195 Glad we found this place.

    Hope it all works out, Nimal. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Negombo.

    • Yogesh F. Somayajula

      Rooting for you, Nimal. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

      • Adriana B. Urbina

        Best of luck, Nimal. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care.
