After a long illness in September, 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 teaching assistant 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 $700 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Groceries and school meals: $360
• Course fees and exam costs: $150
Thank you so much.

Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($166). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Small update. $146 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
