After a house fire in April, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 August, 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: $570
• Childcare and after-school care: $360
• Groceries and school meals: $220
• Course fees and exam costs: $150
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Bornova donated after I showed her your page.
