Aarti and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in March, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 May, 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $220 • Childcare and after-school care: $120 • Groceries and school meals: $150 • Course fees and exam costs: $160 I hope life is good to you. - Aarti
