Since a house fire in March, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 June, 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: $340
• Childcare and after-school care: $100
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
With deep gratitude,
Rohan

wishing you the best, Rohan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
You're not alone, Rohan. 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. Greetings from Negombo
