After a long illness in February, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 May, 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:
• Groceries and school meals: $220
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Course fees and exam costs: $135
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending good thoughts, Diego. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
