Last January 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 retail cashier, 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 April, 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 $3,450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $560
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,390
Glad we found this place.

Hope things get better soon, Nicholas. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Orlando.
Sending good thoughts. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Khulna but we're thinking of you. God bless
