Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $2,650 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $320 • Groceries and school meals: $720 • Rent top-up: $1,610 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Genesis

  1. Small update. $1,222 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Update from Laredo: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 39% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 14% now ($360). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
