Since a long illness in January, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $2,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $900
• Childcare and after-school care: $730
• Groceries and school meals: $640
• Course fees and exam costs: $430
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Dallas.
