After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $840
• Groceries and school meals: $580
• Course fees and exam costs: $380
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Knoxville.
your post was clear and honest. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Zapopan.
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Haarlem but we're thinking of you. Thinking of San Jose.
Take care, Julieta. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
I hope things turn around soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of San Jose
hang in there, Julieta. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Mardan.
Sending good thoughts, Julieta. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Mumbai.
Hope it all works out, Julieta. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Pretoria but we're thinking of you.
take care, Julieta. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Love from Corpus Christi.
