Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 December, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $165
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Mumbai
