Help Aaliyah get through 6 hard months with four children

Since a sudden redundancy in December, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $990
• Childcare and after-school care: $720
• Groceries and school meals: $880
• Course fees and exam costs: $710
Thanks for being kind about this.
