Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 bookkeeper 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 $3,500 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $460
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,340
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon, Huy. Hope you get there. After 18 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Springfield.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Cebu City.
stay strong, Huy. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Moscow.
Sending good thoughts. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Thinking of you, Huy. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Sending strength, Huy. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Anaheim!
