After a divorce in August, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $450 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $55 • Rent top-up: $165 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • thinking of you, Nilmini. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings

    • Good luck, Nilmini. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Quezon City but we're thinking of you
