Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,600
• Childcare and after-school care: $930
• Groceries and school meals: $650
• Course fees and exam costs: $670
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Ballarat this morning.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Esra.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $1,600. Good question.
hope you get there. Don't give up.
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Stockholm this morning. Blessings.
How is Esra doing now?
This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Munich.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Esra?
Thank you. If you're in Munich I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
sending love, Esra. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Indore
I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Bang Khen so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Praying for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Rome.
Rooting for you, Esra. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Berlin.
Keep going, Esra. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Munich.
