After a divorce in June, 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 bookkeeper 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $2,600 goes: • Rent top-up: $780 • Childcare and after-school care: $850 • Groceries and school meals: $490 • Course fees and exam costs: $480 Thank you so much. - Romane

    Really cared about my situation

    The support I received was beyond what I expected. Not only did they help with the immediate need, but they also provided guidance for long-term solutions. I'm forever grateful.

    Changed my perspective

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

  • Keep going, Romane. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope September is when things finally get easier.

    • Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Quezon City.

      • Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings

        • Hope things get better soon, Romane. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Salem so I could bring a meal.

          • Hope it all works out, Romane. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 8 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Wudil
