Since a divorce in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 October, 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 $350 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $115

Hope things get better soon, Waleed. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Alexandria.
