Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Course fees and exam costs: $400
• Childcare and after-school care: $900
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Best of luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Adelaide
Wishing you peace, Carter. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Hang in there, Carter. Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Pune
Thanks for sharing this, Carter. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Adelaide.
Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't give up. Blessings.
