Last May I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

take care. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Cebu City.
thanks for sharing this, Rey. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Cebu City.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Ibadan so I could bring a meal.
Sending love, Rey. Shared this with my family. Take care.
rooting for you, Rey. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Cebu City.
Good luck, Rey. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Cebu City.
Hope it all works out, Rey. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Nice
Hope things get better soon. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Cebu City.
