Tuyết is a single parent of four children - help us after a house fire
A single mother in Hanoi needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Tuyết retrains.
🇻🇳 Hanoi, Hanoi, Vietnam623 views
Since a house fire in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $125
• Childcare and after-school care: $110
• Groceries and school meals: $110
• Course fees and exam costs: $55
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from The Hague
hope things get better soon, Tuyết. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tuyết
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($125) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Hanoi.
Sending strength, Tuyết. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thinking of you and your family, Tuyết. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Uberlândia so I could bring a meal. All the best
Keep going, Tuyết. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
