Paris
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.
