Back on our feet: Surachai and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Bang Khen
After my partner leaving, Surachai is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $600 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Since my partner leaving in August, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $600 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Surachai
Thank you all. We're at 34% now ($202). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Bang Khen: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 27% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
