Prayagraj
Since a house fire 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 a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $300 • Childcare and after-school care: $125 • Groceries and school meals: $115 • Course fees and exam costs: $60 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  1. Small update. $531 so far, I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.

  2. 61% there. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs. Thank you.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 58% now ($346). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
