After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising three children under 12 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 pharmacy technician 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 $700 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $230 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 • Childcare and after-school care: $355 Thank you for reading my story.

    Hope things get better soon, Esteban. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
