Since a sudden redundancy in November, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 December, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $180
• Childcare and after-school care: $145
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you peace, Jomar. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
Rooting for you, Jomar. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
