Zaria
Last June I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 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 $400 goes: • Rent top-up: $140 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Childcare and after-school care: $115 If you're reading this, thank you.

    You're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Duluth.
