Aaliyah is a single parent of four children - help us after a divorce

Aaliyah and four children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

Last August I went through a divorce, and 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 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 $4,050 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,550 • Groceries and school meals: $880 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,620 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Aaliyah

      hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.

            Sending good thoughts, Aaliyah. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Warsaw this morning. All the best.
