After a long illness in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $300 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $85 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $70 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ashok

    Keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

    • Maryam Rasha Zaki

      take care, Ashok. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 27 people at work. Take care.
