Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 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 $650 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $165
• Rent top-up: $370
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Stay strong, Arief. Hope you get there. Love from Surrey.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arief.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. childcare and after-school care comes first ($115) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Hope it all works out, Arief. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Thiruvananthapuram this morning. Thinking of Jakarta.
praying for you, Arief. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 19 people at work.
You're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Jakarta.
You're not alone, Arief. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Rome.
Sending strength. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 8 people at work. Thinking of Jakarta.
Sending good thoughts, Arief. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted!
Rooting for you, Arief. Shared it with a few friends. Take care
