Help Hye-jin get through 5 hard months with two young children
A single father in Incheon needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Hye-jin retrains.

Last September I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 December, 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 $2,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $710
• Childcare and after-school care: $450
• Groceries and school meals: $460
• Course fees and exam costs: $480
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
