After a sudden redundancy in March, 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 a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $2,600 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,350
• Groceries and school meals: $960
• Course fees and exam costs: $290
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

good luck. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Medan donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Medan.
Keep going, Eugene. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
sending strength, Eugene. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
you're not alone. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Nairobi.
Shared this with my family. Thinking of San Diego.
