After a house fire in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 dental nurse 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 $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $220 • Childcare and after-school care: $160 • Groceries and school meals: $85 • Course fees and exam costs: $85 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Geeta!

      everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Thiruvananthapuram.
