After a divorce in July, 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 web developer 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $95
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
If you're reading this, thank you.

you're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Bergamo.
Wishing you peace, Chiamaka. Hope this works out for you.
