After a long illness in September, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 December, 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 $450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Course fees and exam costs: $50
• Rent top-up: $285
Thanks for being kind about this.
- Achieng

Best of luck, Achieng. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
