Last May I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 9 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 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 $1,150 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $460
• Rent top-up: $450
• Groceries and school meals: $240
With deep gratitude,
Gabriela
