Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,200
• Groceries and school meals: $760
• Course fees and exam costs: $590
Every share and every dollar helps.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Put this on a community board in Dehiwala this morning. Blessings.
