Since the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 October, 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:
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
• Rent top-up: $270
• Childcare and after-school care: $125
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Naliaka. Gave what I could, wish it was more. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Naliaka
Course fees and exam costs is $105 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending good thoughts, Naliaka. Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 29 people at work. Greetings from Mumbai.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Naliaka?
Thank you. If you're in Entebbe I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
Hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Take care.
take care. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Mumbai but we're thinking of you. Love from Mumbai
so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Entebbe.
