Help Jung-ho get through 4 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Jung-ho and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,550
• Childcare and after-school care: $380
• Groceries and school meals: $370
• Course fees and exam costs: $350
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Sending love, Jung-ho. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Sandton.
You're not alone, Jung-ho. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Cairo.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update!
Praying for you, Jung-ho. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Wollongong but we're thinking of you. Take care.
