Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 November, 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 $2,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $980
• Childcare and after-school care: $560
• Groceries and school meals: $380
• Course fees and exam costs: $280
I hope life is good to you.

thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
How is Maksym doing now?
sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
You're not alone, Maksym. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Hope it all works out, Maksym. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
Good luck, Maksym. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
