Since my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $3,500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Childcare and after-school care: $890
• Groceries and school meals: $610
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Fort Portal but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Porto Alegre this morning. Greetings from Porto Alegre.
Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Wiesbaden.
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. Love from București.
stay strong, Andrea. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
