Since a divorce in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $3,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,300
• Groceries and school meals: $490
• Course fees and exam costs: $860
Thanks for reading all this.

Hang in there, Kaylee. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Orlando

You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Dhaka.
good luck, Kaylee. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Zapopan
You're not alone, Kaylee. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Kaylee. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
