Emre is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after a sudden redundancy

Emre and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in September, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $1,300 goes: • Rent top-up: $510 • Childcare and after-school care: $320 • Groceries and school meals: $230 • Course fees and exam costs: $240 With deep gratitude, Emre

Updates from Emre

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($262 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Emre

  2. Small update. $177 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Small update. $149 so far, I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.

        Wishing you the best, Emre. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Oakland.
