After a sudden redundancy in February, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 June, 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 $2,950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $760
• Groceries and school meals: $730
• Course fees and exam costs: $260
I hope life is good to you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hamza.
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $1,200, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Good question.
your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in accounting I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Thinking of Paris.
Hang in there, Hamza. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Paris.
