Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $3,700 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,600 • Childcare and after-school care: $670 • Groceries and school meals: $570 • Course fees and exam costs: $860 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Gabriel

    thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.

      I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

        Keep going, Gabriel. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Kadıköy.

          Best of luck, Gabriel. Shared this with my family. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
