Last March I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, 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 July, 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 $500 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $120
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
• Rent top-up: $300
Thank you for reading my story.

So sorry you're going through this, Daniel. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Hope things get better soon, Daniel. I hope things turn around soon.
