After a sudden redundancy in March, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 May, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $195 • Course fees and exam costs: $140 • Groceries and school meals: $165 I hope life is good to you.

  • Hang in there, Kevin. Your post was clear and honest. After 28 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything
