Last September I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $450 goes: • Rent top-up: $190 • Childcare and after-school care: $80 • Groceries and school meals: $85 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Chukwuemeka

    • Wishing you the best, Chukwuemeka. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

      • Keep going, Chukwuemeka. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Gwagwalada.

          • Hope it all works out, Chukwuemeka. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Kozhikode so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Gwagwalada

              • hope things get better soon. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Gwagwalada.

                • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Kyiv.

                        • Wishing you peace, Chukwuemeka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
