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.
Updates from Noah
We're at 75% thanks to 54 of you. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. More news soon.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,163 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

hope it all works out. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Phoenix
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about course fees and exam costs, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.
sending love. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Quezon City
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noah
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.
Thanks for sharing this, Noah. This could happen to any of us. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Sending strength, Noah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Phoenix.
Thinking of you. Shared it with a few friends. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from London!
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.
