After a divorce in October, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,000
• Groceries and school meals: $1,100
• Course fees and exam costs: $500
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

sending strength, Amelia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'll check back for the next update.
Hang in there, Amelia. I hope things turn around soon. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Amelia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amelia.
Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from A Coruña
Sending strength, Amelia. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Kansas City.
Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. Greetings from Mohammedia.
