After the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,100
• Groceries and school meals: $710
• Course fees and exam costs: $440
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Dong-hyun
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,466 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

you're not alone, Dong-hyun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thanks for sharing this, Dong-hyun. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 21 people at work.
Hope it all works out, Dong-hyun. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you, Dong-hyun. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
