Back on our feet: Yuki and twin daughters in Tokyo

A single mother in Tokyo needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Yuki retrains.

Tokyo
After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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 $2,700 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $520 • Childcare and after-school care: $870 • Rent top-up: $1,310 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
