After my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $1,800 goes: • Rent top-up: $860 • Course fees and exam costs: $360 • Childcare and after-school care: $580 Thank you so much. - Cem

    sending strength, Cem. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Zapopan but we're thinking of you.
