Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $480
• Childcare and after-school care: $310
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Course fees and exam costs: $225
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Daniela
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $480. Good question.
Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Bangkok.
keep going, Daniela. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
