Help Rose get through 5 hard months with four children
A single father in Manila needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Rose retrains.

Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $290
• Childcare and after-school care: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $75
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

good luck, Rose. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Blessings
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
stay strong, Rose. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
best of luck. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care
