Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $125
• Course fees and exam costs: $135
• Rent top-up: $190
With deep gratitude,
Galih

hang in there, Galih. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
