After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising three children under 11 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 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 $850 goes: • Rent top-up: $330 • Groceries and school meals: $240 • Childcare and after-school care: $280 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Emiliano

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($185 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
