Last April I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $650 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $165 • Childcare and after-school care: $195 • Rent top-up: $290 Thank you for reading my story.

          good luck, Felix. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care!

          • Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless

            • keep going, Felix. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
