After a sudden redundancy in June, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 September, 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 $4,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $930
• Groceries and school meals: $600
• Course fees and exam costs: $370
Every share and every dollar helps.

Sending love, Kyung-mi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Los Angeles.
sending good thoughts, Kyung-mi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
