After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $300 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $65 • Rent top-up: $150 • Course fees and exam costs: $85 Thanks for reading all this. - Sushila

      Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about groceries and school meals, advice is welcome too. Thanks for looking so closely.

    Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Quezon City.

      How is Sushila doing now?

      • You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too

        • Hope things get better soon. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted.

          • So sorry you're going through this, Sushila. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
