Since the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Groceries and school meals: $920
• Course fees and exam costs: $580
Thanks for reading all this.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Augusta.
Praying for you, Roman. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
