After a house fire in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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 $2,600 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $490
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Groceries and school meals: $960
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Good luck, Tyler. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Aurora.
