Akash is a single parent of four children - help us after a sudden redundancy

After a sudden redundancy in April, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $340 • Childcare and after-school care: $150 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $65 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Akash
