Surat
Since a divorce in September, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $400 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $190 • Rent top-up: $140 • Course fees and exam costs: $70 With deep gratitude, Rohan

Updates from Rohan

  1. 6% there. the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Thank you.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 12% now ($47). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($47 in total) the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  • I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Rawalpindi.

    • You're not alone, Rohan. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Wish I lived closer to Saint-Denis so I could bring a meal. All the best.

      • Thinking of you, Rohan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 16 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
