After my partner leaving in October, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, 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 January, 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 $4,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,250
• Groceries and school meals: $510
• Course fees and exam costs: $340
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone. Hope you get there. Greetings from Fresno.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out, Julian. Hope you get there. Love from Contagem
Wishing you the best, Julian. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 12 people at work. Greetings from Riyadh.
