Last June I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $3,700 goes: • Rent top-up: $2,500 • Course fees and exam costs: $700 • Groceries and school meals: $500 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Beau

rooting for you, Beau. Hope you get there. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of San Francisco.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Francisco.
