Since a divorce in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $340
• Groceries and school meals: $230
• Course fees and exam costs: $280
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Los Angeles
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Wishing you peace, Ana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Ana. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Keep going. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Stay strong, Ana. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Santos.
Sending love, Ana. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Take care. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Thane.
