Bambang is a single parent of two young children - help us after my partner leaving

Bambang and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Last April I went through my partner leaving, 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $260 • Childcare and after-school care: $165 • Groceries and school meals: $150 • Course fees and exam costs: $125 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
