Since a long illness in June, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 medical coder 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $2,900 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $1,300 • Course fees and exam costs: $370 • Rent top-up: $1,230 Glad we found this place. - Marième

    Sending love, Marième. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care

    • Manisha Anita Chhetri

      Keep going, Marième. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours.
