After my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $1,850 goes: • Rent top-up: $960 • Childcare and after-school care: $370 • Groceries and school meals: $320 • Course fees and exam costs: $200 Every share and every dollar helps. - Ioannis

    how is Ioannis doing now?

    • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Bacolod so I could bring a meal. Love from Cầu Giấy.

      • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ioannis.
