Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 teaching assistant 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,250 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $710
• Rent top-up: $1,750
• Course fees and exam costs: $790
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($960). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Tampa.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Campinas.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
