Help Somsak get through 6 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Somsak and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
Anywhere in the world499 views
After a house fire in March, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 July, 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 $700 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $310
• Groceries and school meals: $175
• Course fees and exam costs: $215
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Tiruchirappalli this morning. Love from Tiruchirappalli.
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Thinking of you, Somsak. Looking forward to the next update. God bless!
Wishing you the best, Somsak. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 5 people at work. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Bang Khen!
