Last November I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $800 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $270
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
• Rent top-up: $420
Thank you so much.

Wishing you peace, Jakkrit. Looking forward to the next update. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Pattaya
So sorry you're going through this, Jakkrit. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Keep going, Jakkrit. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jakkrit
Childcare and after-school care is $270 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending strength, Jakkrit. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Buffalo donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Hope it all works out, Jakkrit. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Pattaya
