Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children 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 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 $600 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
• Childcare and after-school care: $300
• Groceries and school meals: $195
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

hope things get better soon, Opas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Take care
take care, Opas. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Charlotte.
Rooting for you, Opas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours.
Sending love, Opas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 17 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
