After a house fire in September, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 December, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $220
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Childcare and after-school care: $300
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Seoul.
Praying for you, Francois. I hope things turn around soon.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal. God bless!
