Last November I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $3,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $830
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,000
• Groceries and school meals: $630
• Course fees and exam costs: $590
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Frank
Wanted to say thank you properly. 10% funded and I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.
Quick update: $158 raised so far (5%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Frank
Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($128). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.

Hope things get better soon, Frank. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Lahore donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Lahore.
Best of luck, Frank. Hope you get there. All the best
Wishing you the best, Frank. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Frank. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up
Hang in there, Frank. Shared it with a few friends.
