Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
Thanks for reading all this.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Ankara.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. All the best.
