After a divorce in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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 $2,950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,400
• Childcare and after-school care: $470
• Groceries and school meals: $590
• Course fees and exam costs: $490
With deep gratitude,
Atsushi

Stay strong, Atsushi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Take care!
Rooting for you, Atsushi. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. After 12 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Atsushi
Rent top-up is $1,400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Yokohama.
shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Yokohama.
Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Wishing you peace. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Soweto.
keep going, Atsushi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. God bless
