Last March I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $750 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $220
• Rent top-up: $440
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hang in there, Nuria. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from San Francisco.
