After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $4,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,800
• Childcare and after-school care: $830
• Groceries and school meals: $1,250
• Course fees and exam costs: $520
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Keep going, Anh. Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
Take care, Anh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better
it takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
