Casablanca
Last July I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 October, 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 $400 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $65 • Groceries and school meals: $205 Glad we found this place.

    You're not alone, Laurent. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Bandung.

        Hope it all works out. Hope this works out for you. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Mumbai.
