Help Baptiste get through 6 hard months with twin daughters

Since a sudden redundancy in February, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 pharmacy technician 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 $1,950 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,200 • Groceries and school meals: $530 • Course fees and exam costs: $220 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Baptiste
