After a divorce in February, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 June, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $780
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,200
• Course fees and exam costs: $670
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Wishing you the best. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 33 people at work!
Praying for you, Sadie. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Blessings.
hang in there. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings.
