Last May I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 July, 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 $4,500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,650
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,300
• Groceries and school meals: $650
• Course fees and exam costs: $900
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck, Angel. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Angel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 29 people at work. All the best.
