Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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: $310
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Childcare and after-school care: $70
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
good luck, Ebuka. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
wishing you peace, Ebuka. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Reading this morning.
Good luck, Ebuka. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Take care, Ebuka. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Lahore.
Hang in there, Ebuka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Córdoba so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Sending strength, Ebuka. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Southampton this morning. Greetings from Southampton.
thinking of you and your family, Ebuka. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
hang in there, Ebuka. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Best of luck, Ebuka. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Greetings from Los Angeles!
