Back on our feet: Yodchai and three children under 6 in Phuket
After my partner leaving, Yodchai is raising three children under 6 alone and needs $1,200 to stay afloat for 4 months.

After my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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 $1,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $490
• Childcare and after-school care: $290
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Course fees and exam costs: $240
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
