Sanduni is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after my partner leaving

Sanduni and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $135 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $85 • Course fees and exam costs: $170 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Sanduni

  1. Update from Dehiwala: the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. We're at 30% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($90 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Dehiwala: I made the first payment toward rent top-up. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sanduni?
