Since a house fire in October, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $2,550 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $430 • Childcare and after-school care: $850 • Rent top-up: $1,270 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sabine

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sabine

    • Sabine Charlotte FrankOwnerAnswer

      It's all in the list in the story. course fees and exam costs is the big one at $430, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

    Best of luck, Sabine. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

    • Kemi Vivian Falana

      Good luck, Sabine. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. God bless.

        Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings!
