Since a sudden redundancy in January, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $210 • Childcare and after-school care: $105 • Groceries and school meals: $135 • Course fees and exam costs: $50 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Tania

  1. Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($140). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

  • I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Hải Phòng so I could bring a meal. Take care!

    • I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Dhaka

      • Sending strength, Tania. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care
