Since a divorce in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 August, 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 $500 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Rent top-up: $205
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
