After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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 $3,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $550
• Groceries and school meals: $1,100
• Course fees and exam costs: $700
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 26 people at work. Love from Toledo
hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Kinondoni so I could bring a meal
praying for you, Isaiah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
praying for you, Isaiah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care.
thinking of you and your family, Isaiah. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Çankaya
wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Bangkok.
Take care. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Toulon this morning.
