After a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 October, 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 $3,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,450
• Childcare and after-school care: $640
• Groceries and school meals: $750
• Course fees and exam costs: $610
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Bronx
