After a house fire in February, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $2,400 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $800 • Childcare and after-school care: $730 • Groceries and school meals: $870 Thanks for being kind about this.

  • Hope it all works out, Angel. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
