A single father in Pasig needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Camille retrains.

Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $110
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Camille
Good news. Because of your gifts ($60 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Camille
Thank you all. We're at 19% now ($135). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 39% funded and I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
