Since my partner leaving in April, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $270 • Childcare and after-school care: $115 • Groceries and school meals: $185 • Course fees and exam costs: $80 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • Thanks for sharing this, Oky. Shared it with a few friends. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Nagpur.

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

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($270) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.

      Hope things get better soon, Oky. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Ubud

      • Shared this with my family. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Love from Quezon City.

        • Keep going. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Howrah.

          • Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Ubud.

            • You're not alone, Oky. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 11 people at work. Greetings from Las Cruces

              • sending strength. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

                • Hang in there, Oky. Looking forward to the next update. God bless
