Since my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 bookkeeper 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $180 • Childcare and after-school care: $100 • Groceries and school meals: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $90 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Tania

  • Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. Love from Naivasha.

    • You're not alone, Tania. Shared this with my family. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Mumbai.

      • Hope it all works out, Tania. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together

        • Sending good thoughts, Tania. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Glendale.
