Help Benjamin get through 4 hard months with two young children
After my partner leaving, Benjamin is raising two young children alone and needs $3,200 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since my partner leaving in February, I'm now raising two young children 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 May, 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 $3,200 goes:
• Rent top-up: $930
• Childcare and after-school care: $900
• Groceries and school meals: $810
• Course fees and exam costs: $560
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
