After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 December, 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 $850 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Rent top-up: $480
• Groceries and school meals: $160
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hope things get better soon, Alexandre. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. Love from Giza.
