Since my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $4,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,400 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,150 • Groceries and school meals: $800 • Course fees and exam costs: $850 I hope life is good to you. - Christopher

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Manchester

      Hang in there, Christopher. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

      • Sunil Bhandari

        Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 16 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

            Best of luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Fort Collins.
