After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,800 goes: • Rent top-up: $2,200 • Childcare and after-school care: $650 • Groceries and school meals: $620 • Course fees and exam costs: $330 Thanks for being kind about this. - Everly

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best

            You're not alone. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
