Since a divorce in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $370
• Groceries and school meals: $300
• Rent top-up: $430
Thanks for reading all this.

thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Jaipur.
Hope things get better soon, Roberto. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Wudil.
hope things get better soon, Roberto. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
sending strength, Roberto. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
Thinking of you and your family, Roberto. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
