Back on our feet: Đức and two young children in Cầu Giấy

Đức and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Cầu Giấy
After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $400 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $95 • Groceries and school meals: $115 • Childcare and after-school care: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Đức
