After my partner leaving in January, I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Groceries and school meals: $790
• Course fees and exam costs: $810
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Stay strong, Heather. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Brampton
So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Multan but we're thinking of you. God bless.
