Since a long illness in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $5,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,300
• Groceries and school meals: $1,050
• Course fees and exam costs: $700
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

thanks for sharing this, Ezra. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Sending good thoughts, Ezra. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Curitiba this morning.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Hang in there, Ezra. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
