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, Tokyo, Japan3,937 views
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.
