Ubud
Since a house fire in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $500 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $210 • Rent top-up: $230 • Course fees and exam costs: $60 If you're reading this, thank you. - Irma

          Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
