Since the death of my husband in April, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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 $5,950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,650
• Groceries and school meals: $1,250
• Course fees and exam costs: $900
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Good luck, Dennis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Sending strength. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
