Help Eleanor get through 5 hard months with three children under 7

After the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $2,900 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $1,250 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,200 • Course fees and exam costs: $450 Thank you so much. - Eleanor
