After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $1,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $600 • Childcare and after-school care: $250 • Groceries and school meals: $270 • Course fees and exam costs: $230 If you're reading this, thank you. - Vasyl

Updates from Vasyl

  1. Small update. $46 so far, I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.

  2. 5% there. I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Thank you.

  3. Quick update: $561 raised so far (42%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  • Hope it all works out, Vasyl. Hope you get there. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Yekaterinburg.

    • I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
