Nakhon Ratchasima
Since my partner leaving in October, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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: • Groceries and school meals: $230 • Childcare and after-school care: $270 • Course fees and exam costs: $100 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Pairoj

  1. Update from Nakhon Ratchasima: I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs. We're at 72% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $410 raised so far (68%). I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Update from Nakhon Ratchasima: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 37% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
