After my partner leaving, Greyson is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $2,200 to stay afloat for 5 months.

After my partner leaving in October, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $2,200 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $440
• Groceries and school meals: $960
• Childcare and after-school care: $800
Thank you so much.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Greyson
It's all in the list in the story. course fees and exam costs is the big one at $440, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Dublin donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of San Antonio
Shared this with my family. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Praying for you, Greyson. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Hope it all works out, Greyson. This could happen to any of us.
Good luck, Greyson. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Aurangabad
