After a house fire in June, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,250
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,200
• Groceries and school meals: $780
• Course fees and exam costs: $620
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

stay strong, Julieta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Bogor donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Julieta
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($1,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. It helps to be asked.
Good luck, Julieta. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
best of luck, Julieta. Your post was clear and honest. After 6 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Julieta. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
hope you get there. Greetings from Ibadan.
This could happen to any of us. After 15 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Dwarka.
