Rani and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Since a house fire in July, 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $240 • Childcare and after-school care: $160 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $105 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Rani

                  rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. After 26 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
