Last November I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Groceries and school meals: $510
• Course fees and exam costs: $790
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hang in there, Avery. Shared this with my family. Love from Mumbai.
Thinking of you and your family, Avery. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Sacramento.
Hang in there, Avery. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Avery. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning
rooting for you, Avery. Hope you get there!
