After a long illness in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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 $1,200 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $210
• Rent top-up: $660
• Groceries and school meals: $330
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Luís. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Dwarka.
Good luck, Luís. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Wishing you peace, Luís. I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Tallahassee this morning. Blessings
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings!
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
Thanks for sharing this, Luís. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Salvador.
Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Taguig this morning.
Wishing you peace, Luís. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Stay strong, Luís. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
