Last April I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 July, 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 $900 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $360
• Childcare and after-school care: $360
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thinking of you, Alexandre. This could happen to any of us. God bless!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Alexandre
Sure. The biggest one is course fees and exam costs, $180. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Love from Lagos.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Newcastle upon Tyne.
