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

      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
