After the death of my husband in February, I'm now raising three children under 7 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $600 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $195 • Groceries and school meals: $185 • Rent top-up: $220 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Thảo

  1. 17% there. the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. We're at 15% thanks to 5 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon. - Thảo

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($58 in total) the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best!

      Take care, Thảo. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 38 people at work.

        hope things get better soon, Thảo. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        • Héctor M. Muñoz

          Keep going, Thảo. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up
