Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 November, 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 $450 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $50 • Rent top-up: $255 I hope life is good to you.

                • Thinking of you and your family, Khadija. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
