Bappy and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Last April I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 July, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $155
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Bappy
Quick update: $112 raised so far (16%). I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($20). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled.
