Help Bruno get through 5 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Bruno and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Last February I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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 $3,000 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $370
• Childcare and after-school care: $930
• Rent top-up: $1,700
If you're reading this, thank you.
