After my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising three children under 6 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 teaching assistant 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 $1,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $490 • Childcare and after-school care: $290 • Groceries and school meals: $180 • Course fees and exam costs: $240 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
