Since a divorce in February, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 June, 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 $3,500 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $280 • Rent top-up: $2,150 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,070 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Arianna

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Arianna!

        Course fees and exam costs is $280 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.

        Wishing you the best, Arianna. Hope you get there. After 7 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kanpur.
