Help Ishara get through 4 hard months with two young children
Ishara and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇱🇰 Sri Lanka721 views
Last December 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 an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $600 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
Every share and every dollar helps.
