After the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $3,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $950 • Childcare and after-school care: $980 • Groceries and school meals: $570 • Course fees and exam costs: $700 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
