After a long illness in March, I'm now raising two young 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 dental nurse 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $135 • Childcare and after-school care: $115 • Groceries and school meals: $190 • Course fees and exam costs: $110 Glad we found this place. - Mabel

Updates from Mabel

Update from Takoradi: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 40% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Small update. $143 so far, the first invoice got paid this week. - Mabel
Good news. Because of your gifts ($88 in total) the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Mabel
