After a divorce in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $750 goes: • Rent top-up: $280 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $90 • Course fees and exam costs: $150 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

    Hope things get better soon, Cesar. Shared it with a few friends. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.

    • take care, Cesar. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.

      • Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything
