Since my partner leaving in March, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $5,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,650
• Groceries and school meals: $540
• Course fees and exam costs: $810
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Juan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
So sorry you're going through this, Juan. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care!
I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Bandung.
