Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $1,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $520
• Childcare and after-school care: $360
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Course fees and exam costs: $235
With deep gratitude,
Edilene

So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
