Last June I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
