After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $1,000 goes: • Rent top-up: $430 • Childcare and after-school care: $210 • Groceries and school meals: $120 • Course fees and exam costs: $240 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Uğur
