Last March I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $850 goes: โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $95 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $420 โ€ข Rent top-up: $335 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

  • sending strength, Danylo. It takes guts to ask. Well done.

    • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Ottawa so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Naivasha.

        Hang in there, Danylo. I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

        • you're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Gwangju this morning. Love from Gwangju

          • Thinking of you and your family. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Novosibirsk!
