Last March 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $3,450 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,100 • Childcare and after-school care: $870 • Groceries and school meals: $910 • Course fees and exam costs: $570 Thank you so much. - Levi

  • Good luck, Levi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Dhaka.

    • Good luck, Levi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.

      • sending good thoughts, Levi. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Sent it to 35 people at work. All the best

        • Good luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Greensboro

          • Take care, Levi. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
