Last October I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $110
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
