Help Ji-woo get through 6 hard months with three children under 5
After my partner leaving, Ji-woo is raising three children under 5 alone and needs $3,500 to stay afloat for 6 months.

After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising three children under 5 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 $3,500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,400
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,100
• Groceries and school meals: $570
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
Thanks for reading all this.

Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Seoul.
