Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $2,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,100
• Childcare and after-school care: $620
• Groceries and school meals: $360
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Daisuke?
Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Warsaw.
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Karachi donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Stay strong, Daisuke. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Kitakyushu
Thinking of you, Daisuke. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings
