After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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 $2,800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $830
• Groceries and school meals: $550
• Course fees and exam costs: $220
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Ye-jin. Hope you get there. All the best.
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
shared this with my family. Thinking of Suwon
hope you get there. Love from Cần Thơ.
Sending love, Ye-jin. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Port Harcourt so I could bring a meal.
