After a house fire in August, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $450 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $80 • Groceries and school meals: $170 • Rent top-up: $200 Thank you so much.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Aniket. This could happen to any of us.

    • sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together

      • Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 26 people at work.

        • Sending strength, Aniket. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
