Sinta is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after the death of my husband
Sinta and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.
🇮🇩 Jakarta Barat, DKI Jakarta, Indonesia684 views
After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $200
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
Thanks for being kind about this.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sinta.
Sure. The biggest one is rent top-up, $200. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
Sending love, Sinta. Your post was clear and honest.
hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Chennai.
Sending strength, Sinta. I hope things turn around soon. God bless
Rooting for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Jakarta Barat
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Birmingham
