Last May I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Groceries and school meals: $100
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
Thank you for reading my story.

Good luck, Vy. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Siliguri this morning
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Vy?
Thank you. If you're in Hồ Chí Minh City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
Keep going, Vy. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
