Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $4,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,800
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,250
• Groceries and school meals: $680
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
Every share and every dollar helps.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Sending love, Alexa. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Bogor.
best of luck, Alexa. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
