After a house fire in July, 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 medical coder 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $210
• Childcare and after-school care: $130
• Groceries and school meals: $175
• Course fees and exam costs: $135
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ryan.
Sure. The biggest one is rent top-up, $210. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you peace, Ryan. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 14 people at work. Love from Medellín
Stay strong, Ryan. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in New Delhi donated after I showed her your page.
