Francis is a single parent of four children - help us after my partner leaving

Francis and four children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Since my partner leaving in November, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 March, 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $290 • Childcare and after-school care: $270 • Groceries and school meals: $140 With deep gratitude, Francis
