Last November I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 February, 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 $3,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,300
• Childcare and after-school care: $830
• Groceries and school meals: $910
• Course fees and exam costs: $260
Thank you so much.

Hope it all works out, Gloria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Bristol
