Help Châu get through 6 hard months with four children

Since a long illness in May, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $550 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
• Rent top-up: $325
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Châu
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. groceries and school meals is the biggest at $160. It helps to be asked.
Thinking of you, Châu. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up. Blessings!
