Last June I went through a long illness, and 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $2,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,150 • Childcare and after-school care: $460 • Groceries and school meals: $310 • Course fees and exam costs: $430 Thank you so much.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mi-young.

      Hang in there, Mi-young. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Dwarka.

        Wishing you the best, Mi-young. Hope you get there. Love from Aberdeen.

          Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

            Sending strength, Mi-young. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I hope August is when things finally get easier. God bless!

                Take care. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Cambridge but we're thinking of you.

                      everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Busan
