Since a long illness in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $2,250 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,100 • Childcare and after-school care: $590 • Groceries and school meals: $360 • Course fees and exam costs: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Adriana

  1. Small update. $1,238 so far, I made the first payment toward rent top-up.

  2. Update from Vigo: I made the first payment toward rent top-up. We're at 24% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($259). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
