After a house fire in November, I'm now raising three children under 9 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $300 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $60 • Groceries and school meals: $110 Thank you for reading my story. - Arif
