Last May I went through my partner leaving, and 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $1,000 goes: • Rent top-up: $410 • Childcare and after-school care: $330 • Groceries and school meals: $170 • Course fees and exam costs: $90 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Carlos
