Alejandro and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in April, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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 $1,100 goes: • Rent top-up: $410 • Childcare and after-school care: $290 • Groceries and school meals: $230 • Course fees and exam costs: $170 Thanks for being kind about this. - Alejandro

          Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care

          • Mussa Swai

            Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
