Since a long illness in September, 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 a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $400 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $110
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
Every share and every dollar helps.

Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Jakarta
Hope it all works out, Reza. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Jakarta.
