Since a house fire in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $2,850 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $670
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,030
Glad we found this place.

keep going, Ghassan. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Los Angeles
