Joko is a single parent of four children - help us after a divorce
Joko and four children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇮🇩 DKI Jakarta, Indonesia1,633 views
After a divorce in March, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $350 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Rent top-up: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
Glad we found this place.

you're not alone, Joko. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 3 people at work.
Best of luck, Joko. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless
