After a house fire in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 October, 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 $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $210 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $140 • Course fees and exam costs: $140 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Dimas

  1. We're at 28% thanks to 5 of you. I made the first payment toward rent top-up. More news soon. - Dimas

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 14% funded and I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 14% now ($85). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. - Dimas

    Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Athens donated after I showed her your page. Love from Athens.
