Peoria

Since a sudden redundancy in May, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $3,450 goes: • Rent top-up: $840 • Childcare and after-school care: $980 • Groceries and school meals: $1,150 • Course fees and exam costs: $480 Thanks for being kind about this. - Josefa
