Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 web developer 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $180
• Childcare and after-school care: $170
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

wishing you peace, Mubashir. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Seongnam
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
