After a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 October, 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 $750 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $145
• Groceries and school meals: $195
• Childcare and after-school care: $410
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

how is Zeynep doing now?
Take care, Zeynep. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
