Brian and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last September I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 November, 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $180 • Childcare and after-school care: $175 • Groceries and school meals: $120 • Course fees and exam costs: $125 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
