Ahmed is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after my partner leaving

Since my partner leaving in March, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $155 • Childcare and after-school care: $180 • Groceries and school meals: $105 • Course fees and exam costs: $60 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Ahmed
