Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 October, 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:
• Rent top-up: $820
• Childcare and after-school care: $600
• Groceries and school meals: $530
• Course fees and exam costs: $650
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 11 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Da Nang so I could bring a meal. Love from Prayagraj!
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Guadalajara!
Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Aurangabad
Hang in there, Francisco. This could happen to any of us
