Last March I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $2,500 goes: • Rent top-up: $860 • Childcare and after-school care: $720 • Groceries and school meals: $370 • Course fees and exam costs: $550 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Jae-hyun

    I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.

  • Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Yonkers so I could bring a meal!

      Stay strong, Jae-hyun. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.

      • Hope things get better soon, Jae-hyun. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

        • Hope things get better soon, Jae-hyun. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Vancouver.

          • Rooting for you, Jae-hyun. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

            • Thanks for sharing this, Jae-hyun. This could happen to any of us.
