Guadalupe and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 September, 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 $1,100 goes: • Rent top-up: $400 • Childcare and after-school care: $280 • Groceries and school meals: $210 • Course fees and exam costs: $210 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
