Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $750 goes: • Rent top-up: $230 • Childcare and after-school care: $145 • Groceries and school meals: $160 • Course fees and exam costs: $215 Every share and every dollar helps. - Yuri

  • wishing you peace, Yuri. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Jakarta.

      • How is Yuri doing now?

        • Rooting for you, Yuri. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Take care!

            Rooting for you, Yuri. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

            • Sending good thoughts, Yuri. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

                stay strong, Yuri. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.

                • Rooting for you, Yuri. Shared this with my family. Take care.
