Last November I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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 $2,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,250
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $780
With deep gratitude,
Do-yoon

Good luck, Do-yoon. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Seongnam
Thank you. If you're in Seongnam I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending good thoughts, Do-yoon. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Belo Horizonte.
Take care, Do-yoon. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 17 people at work. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Do-yoon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
