After a divorce in July, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $3,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,400
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,050
• Groceries and school meals: $770
• Course fees and exam costs: $480
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Good luck, Leah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Leah?
Thank you. If you're in Cleveland I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Makassar.
Stay strong, Leah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
wishing you the best, Leah. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update.
hope things get better soon, Leah. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Bandung so I could bring a meal.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Cleveland.
