Wiesbaden
After my partner leaving in June, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 September, 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 $3,000 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $770 • Rent top-up: $1,850 • Course fees and exam costs: $380 Every share and every dollar helps. - David

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 56% funded and the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled.

            Thinking of you and your family, David. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 23 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Wiesbaden.
