Help Rhea get through 6 hard months with twin daughters
A single mother in Quezon City needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Rhea retrains.

Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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: $100
• Rent top-up: $230
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rhea.
Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 21 people at work.
thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
You're not alone, Rhea. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
Keep going, Rhea. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Yekaterinburg but we're thinking of you.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up. Thinking of Quezon City.
