After a long illness in October, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 February, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $145
• Childcare and after-school care: $170
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Shrijana. I hope things turn around soon.
Wishing you the best, Shrijana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 23 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from San Diego.
Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Love from Kitakyushu.
