Since my partner leaving in March, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $750 goes: • Rent top-up: $220 • Childcare and after-school care: $240 • Groceries and school meals: $165 • Course fees and exam costs: $125 I hope life is good to you.

  • Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
