Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $260 • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Groceries and school meals: $155 • Course fees and exam costs: $155 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Đức

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($313 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Small update. $313 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.
