Aniket is a single parent of four children - help us after a sudden redundancy

Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising four children 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 dental nurse 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $230 • Childcare and after-school care: $195 • Groceries and school meals: $90 • Course fees and exam costs: $135 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
