Last March I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $3,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,550
• Childcare and after-school care: $540
• Groceries and school meals: $630
• Course fees and exam costs: $580
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Sending good thoughts, Kylie. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
You're not alone, Kylie. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Love from Aswan.
Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Sacramento.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Aberdeen.
