Help Galih get through 5 hard months with two young children
A single parent in Jakarta needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Galih retrains.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,457 views
After a house fire in May, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 September, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $300
• Childcare and after-school care: $135
• Groceries and school meals: $65
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

hang in there, Galih. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Taguig donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Taguig
