Last April I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $2,750 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $600
• Groceries and school meals: $950
• Rent top-up: $1,200
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jaxon.
It's all in the list in the story. course fees and exam costs is the big one at $600, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Fair thing to want to know.
This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Nagpur this morning. Thinking of Warren.
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Warren
