Help Dedi get through 3 hard months with twin daughters
A single father in Medan needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Dedi retrains.
🇮🇩 Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia819 views
Since a house fire in December, 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $350
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dedi.
Rent top-up is $350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
