After a divorce in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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 $3,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,750
• Childcare and after-school care: $680
• Groceries and school meals: $450
• Course fees and exam costs: $420
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Giovanna.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. rent top-up is the biggest at $1,750. It helps to be asked.
