Last September I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,250
• Groceries and school meals: $800
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
Updates from Kun
Small update. $223 so far, I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.

Hope things get better soon, Kun. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My neighbor in Denver donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Wishing you the best, Kun. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Timișoara
