Help Rey get through 5 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
A single mother in Quezon City needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Rey retrains.
🇵🇭 Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines879 views
After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $450 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Rent top-up: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
