Since a long illness in August, 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 an electrician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $400 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Childcare and after-school care: $105
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you, William. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 22 people at work. Blessings.

Hope it all works out, William. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Mumbai!
Good luck, William. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
