After the death of my husband in February, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $1,100 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $300 • Rent top-up: $450 • Groceries and school meals: $350 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Camila
