Ji-min and three children under 8 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
Anywhere in the world861 views
Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 November, 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 $2,500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $550
• Groceries and school meals: $610
• Course fees and exam costs: $290
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($127). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent top-up.
Small update. $57 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

Sending love, Ji-min. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
You're not alone, Ji-min. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Kaduna donated after I showed her your page. Love from Kaduna
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. After 13 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thinking of you and your family, Ji-min. Looking forward to the next update. All the best!
Thanks for sharing this, Ji-min. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
