After a divorce in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, 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 October, 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 $1,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $450
• Childcare and after-school care: $310
• Groceries and school meals: $250
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
Updates from Rosa
18% there. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs. Thank you.
Update from Mar del Plata: I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $81 so far, the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled.

Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Mar del Plata.
Rooting for you, Rosa. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Mardan.
hope you get there. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Dhaka.
Hope it all works out, Rosa. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Chattanooga but we're thinking of you
Sending love, Rosa. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
