After a divorce in July, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 October, 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $2,600 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,200 • Groceries and school meals: $980 • Course fees and exam costs: $420 I hope life is good to you.

    • Rooting for you, Hadley. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

      • hope this works out for you. Thinking of Auckland.

        • rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.

          • Sending love, Hadley. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to Hamilton so I could bring a meal. All the best.

                        Wishing you the best, Hadley. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything

                        • Take care. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
