Since a sudden redundancy in May, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $280 • Groceries and school meals: $240 • Course fees and exam costs: $130 Every share and every dollar helps. - Gonzalo

      Good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Jakarta Barat.
