After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Rent top-up: $230
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Như!
It's all in the list in the story. groceries and school meals is the big one at $140, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you the best. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Madurai.
Praying for you, Như. Shared this with my family. God bless
