After a divorce in January, I'm now raising two young children 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 April, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($80). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Adwoa
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $330.
Best of luck, Adwoa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings
