After a long illness in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $130
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Dennis
Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($150). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($100 in total) the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
