Last March I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 May, 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 $4,000 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $1,000 • Childcare and after-school care: $900 • Rent top-up: $2,100 Every share and every dollar helps.

Best of luck, Allison. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Sacramento so I could bring a meal.
