Since a long illness in August, 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 web developer 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $170
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Abdullah.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $260. I'll keep the page updated.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope December is when things finally get easier
