Help Rin get through 5 hard months with two young children
After the death of my husband, Rin is raising two young children alone and needs $3,100 to stay afloat for 5 months.

After the death of my husband in September, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Childcare and after-school care: $510
• Groceries and school meals: $790
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

sending strength, Rin. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
So sorry you're going through this, Rin. I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
keep going. Looking forward to the next update. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Rin. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
sending good thoughts, Rin. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Sakai.
Praying for you. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Mar del Plata
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Istanbul
