Last May I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $4,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,050
• Groceries and school meals: $580
• Course fees and exam costs: $920
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thank you all. We're at 21% now ($965). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.
