Since my partner leaving in April, 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 web developer 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 $950 goes: • Rent top-up: $310 • Childcare and after-school care: $260 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $235 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Daniela

Updates from Daniela

  1. Quick update: $490 raised so far (52%). the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 28% now ($266). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Quick update: $206 raised so far (22%). I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
