Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $4,650 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,950 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,250 • Groceries and school meals: $630 • Course fees and exam costs: $820 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Eli
