Gizem and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in December, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $3,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,100 • Childcare and after-school care: $770 • Groceries and school meals: $600 • Course fees and exam costs: $730 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Gizem

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gizem

    • Gizem Hande AydınOwnerAnswer

      Rent top-up is $1,100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.

    Sending good thoughts, Gizem. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.

      Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Springfield.
