Grace is a single parent of three children under 12 - help us after a long illness

Grace and three children under 12 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $5,050 goes: • Rent top-up: $2,000 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,300 • Groceries and school meals: $1,100 • Course fees and exam costs: $650 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
