Kyung-mi is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a divorce
Kyung-mi and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇰🇷 South Korea2,489 views
Last April I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $2,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $690
• Childcare and after-school care: $670
• Groceries and school meals: $490
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kyung-mi?
Thank you. If you're in Incheon I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Incheon.
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
