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.

is there anything that isn't money that would help 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.
Thinking of you and your family, Bảo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Makati!
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.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Rajkot.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
