Last December I went through the death of my husband, 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $4,350 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $990 • Rent top-up: $2,200 • Groceries and school meals: $1,160 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Magnus

    Good luck, Magnus. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Mumbai

      Sending good thoughts, Magnus. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 11 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

        wishing you peace, Magnus. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
