Sachini is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after the death of my husband
Sachini and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last September I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 November, 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 $450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
• Rent top-up: $260
• Groceries and school meals: $125
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Sachini. Looking forward to the next update. After 30 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
