Since the death of my husband in December, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $1,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $320
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Course fees and exam costs: $285
With deep gratitude,
Arthur

Take care, Arthur. Hope you get there. Blessings.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Rohini.
Hang in there, Arthur. Looking forward to the next update.
Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Poznań so I could bring a meal
So sorry you're going through this, Arthur. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
