🇰🇷 Mapo, Seoul, South Korea748 views
After a house fire in January, I'm now raising three children under 9 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 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 $1,450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $420
• Rent top-up: $670
• Groceries and school meals: $360
Thank you for reading my story.

You're not alone, Eun-ji. Hope you get there. God bless.
Thinking of you, Eun-ji. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Mapo!
Hope things get better soon, Eun-ji. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
So sorry you're going through this, Eun-ji. This could happen to any of us. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
You're not alone, Eun-ji. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Mapo.
