Since the death of my husband in November, 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $750 goes: • Rent top-up: $310 • Childcare and after-school care: $220 • Groceries and school meals: $155 • Course fees and exam costs: $65 Thanks for reading all this. - Akash
