Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $3,700 goes: • Rent top-up: $830 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,200 • Groceries and school meals: $980 • Course fees and exam costs: $690 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Riley
