Help Yun get through 4 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school

Yun and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Since a house fire in November, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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: • Course fees and exam costs: $790 • Childcare and after-school care: $730 • Groceries and school meals: $730 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Yun

Updates from Yun

  1. Quick update: $666 raised so far (30%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Charlotte: I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. We're at 11% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Thinking of you, Yun. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
