Since my partner leaving in June, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 September, 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 $2,500 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $750 • Rent top-up: $1,150 • Groceries and school meals: $600 Thanks for being kind about this.

            Sure. The biggest one is course fees and exam costs, $750. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

              Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from London!

              • Prakash C. Nayak

                Hope it all works out, Noah. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal.
