After a divorce in February, I'm now raising two young children 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 May, 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 $550 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $130 • Childcare and after-school care: $140 • Rent top-up: $280 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 24% funded and I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.

  3. Quick update: $55 raised so far (10%). the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
