Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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 $1,650 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $610 • Rent top-up: $790 • Course fees and exam costs: $250 Thank you for reading my story. - Patricia

    Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.

      Sending strength, Patricia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
