Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $400 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
• Groceries and school meals: $120
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from São Paulo
is there anything that isn't money that would help Ishara?
Stay strong, Ishara. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up.
take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Ottawa so I could bring a meal. All the best
