Since a sudden redundancy in February, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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 $1,150 goes: • Rent top-up: $480 • Childcare and after-school care: $300 • Groceries and school meals: $290 • Course fees and exam costs: $80 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Emilio
