Since my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $165
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $35
Thank you for reading my story.

good luck, Hauwa. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
