Last August I went through a divorce, and 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 bookkeeper 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 $2,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $760
• Childcare and after-school care: $420
• Groceries and school meals: $540
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
I hope life is good to you.

Quick update: $70 raised so far (3%). the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Gwangju: I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $220 so far, I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.

Rooting for you, Ye-eun. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
