Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 November, 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 $500 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
• Rent top-up: $295
Glad we found this place.

keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together
