Help Ashok get through 5 hard months with two young children

Last May I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $3,300 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,150 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,100 • Groceries and school meals: $550 • Course fees and exam costs: $500 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
