Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 September, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

wishing you peace, Tuấn. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Glasgow.
good luck, Tuấn. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Tuấn?
take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to San Antonio so I could bring a meal.
wishing you peace, Tuấn. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together!
