After my partner leaving in November, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,300
• Childcare and after-school care: $460
• Groceries and school meals: $320
• Course fees and exam costs: $320

Stay strong, Hyun-woo. Your post was clear and honest.
Wishing you peace, Hyun-woo. Hope this works out for you.
thinking of you and your family, Hyun-woo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. All the best.
Rooting for you, Hyun-woo. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
so sorry you're going through this, Hyun-woo. Hope you get there. I hope February is when things finally get easier
