After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $300 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Course fees and exam costs: $35
• Childcare and after-school care: $125
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Daniel. Shared this with my family. After 12 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
