After a divorce in September, I'm now raising three children under 11 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 November, 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 $2,700 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $620 • Childcare and after-school care: $600 • Rent top-up: $1,480 With deep gratitude, Christopher

Updates from Christopher

  1. 30% there. the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled. Thank you. - Christopher

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 16% funded and I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.
