Since a house fire in April, I'm now raising two young children 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 July, 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 $3,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,350
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,000
• Groceries and school meals: $530
• Course fees and exam costs: $470
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Greyson. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of London
Rooting for you, Greyson. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings!
Sending good thoughts, Greyson. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
You're not alone, Greyson. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best.
hope it all works out. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from Quetta
Thinking of you and your family, Greyson. I hope things turn around soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
