Since my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 medical coder 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 $2,950 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,350 • Childcare and after-school care: $610 • Groceries and school meals: $580 • Course fees and exam costs: $410 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Praying for you, Evelyn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Evelyn.

      • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($1,350) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.

    • Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Malmö so I could bring a meal.

      • is there anything that isn't money that would help Evelyn?

        • Thank you. If you're in Greensboro I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

      • Thinking of you and your family. Shared this with my family. Love from Coyoacán.

        • Sending love, Evelyn. Hope this works out for you.

          • thinking of you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Derry.

              Stay strong, Evelyn. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Kyiv donated after I showed her your page.

              • Take care, Evelyn. This could happen to any of us. Take care.

                • Hope it all works out, Evelyn. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
