Last February I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 April, 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $2,250 goes: • Rent top-up: $700 • Childcare and after-school care: $620 • Groceries and school meals: $570 • Course fees and exam costs: $360 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Yong-jun
