Since a divorce in July, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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 $3,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $610
• Groceries and school meals: $780
• Course fees and exam costs: $660
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck, Alyssa. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Reading.
rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Kyiv.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Ikeja donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
