Incheon
Since a divorce in July, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 $2,250 goes: โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $590 โ€ข Rent top-up: $860 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $800 Thanks for being kind about this. - Su-bin
