After a house fire in January, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $2,550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $510
• Rent top-up: $1,450
• Childcare and after-school care: $590
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

- Very responsive and caring
I can't speak highly enough about this helper. They were available when I needed them, supportive when I felt lost, and practical in their solutions.
