Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 October, 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 $1,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $540
• Childcare and after-school care: $300
• Groceries and school meals: $165
• Course fees and exam costs: $295
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Bruno. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted.
You're not alone, Bruno. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 30 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
