Citlali and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $550 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $260 • Course fees and exam costs: $105 • Childcare and after-school care: $185 If you're reading this, thank you. - Citlali
