Last February I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 May, 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 $2,950 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $950 • Course fees and exam costs: $400 • Rent top-up: $1,600 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Noboru

    • Thinking of you, Noboru. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!

      • praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Badagry

        • Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

          • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 31 people at work. Love from Setagaya.
