Kediri
After a divorce in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $350 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $145 • Groceries and school meals: $135 • Course fees and exam costs: $70 Thanks for reading all this.

  • is it paid to the landlord directly?

    • Hendra LubisOwnerAnswer

      It comes to me first, then I pay the landlord myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Thanks, that means a lot.

  • Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care!

    • could you add a copy of the lease with private details blacked out?

      • your post was clear and honest.

        • Rooting for you. Hope you get there. God bless

          • can you break down where the money goes? Want to know before I give

            • Hendra LubisOwnerAnswer

              Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. childcare and after-school care comes first ($145) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.

          • A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything

            • Jay N. PawarQuestion

              Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Kediri.

              • Hendra LubisOwnerAnswer

                Thank you. If you're in Kediri I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.

            • Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Kediri.

              • Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Anaheim.

                  thinking of you, Hendra. Shared it with a few friends. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless.

                  • reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                    • wishing you the best, Hendra. Hope you get there. It's not much but it's yours.

                        • Hope it all works out, Hendra. Shared this with my family. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
