Last May I went through the death of my husband, and 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 August, 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 $550 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $130
• Rent top-up: $300
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
Thanks for being kind about this.

This could happen to any of us. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Sending strength, Sneha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
