After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $180
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
Glad we found this place.

66% there. I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Thank you.
62% there. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.
Small update. $295 so far, the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled.

keep going, Thành. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Thủ Đức
Hope things get better soon, Thành. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Seattle so I could bring a meal. Love from Córdoba.
Best of luck, Thành. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Los Angeles
