Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $1,550 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $380
• Groceries and school meals: $500
• Childcare and after-school care: $670
With deep gratitude,
John

Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Manchester donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Manukau.
Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Akron
hope you get there. We're a small family in Lyon but we're thinking of you
praying for you, John. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope you get there. After 25 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from London
