Since the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $300 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Rent top-up: $115
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Bijay
Quick update: $184 raised so far (61%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($84 in total) the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Kathmandu: I made the first payment toward rent top-up. We're at 21% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Good luck, Bijay. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Shared this with my family. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Mumbai.
