Back on our feet: Tuyết and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Da Nang
Tuyết and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world928 views
Since a divorce in February, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $550 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
• Rent top-up: $280
• Groceries and school meals: $85
I hope life is good to you.

You're not alone, Tuyết. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 30 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace, Tuyết. Shared it with a few friends.
rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Sacramento.
Hope things get better soon, Tuyết. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
