Since a divorce in April, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 June, 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 $3,900 goes: โ€ข Rent top-up: $1,600 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $830 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $580 โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $890 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
