After a house fire in October, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $320 • Course fees and exam costs: $85 • Childcare and after-school care: $95 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Bảo

      Thinking of you and your family, Bảo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Thủ Đức

      • praying for you. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings!

        • Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Wellington so I could bring a meal.

          • good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

              • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bảo

                  Rent top-up is $320 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Appreciate you taking the time.
