After a long illness in September, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $1,250 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $380
• Course fees and exam costs: $260
• Rent top-up: $610

Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($311). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
24% there. I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($79 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Carolina

Best of luck, Carolina. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.
rooting for you, Carolina. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
