Last April I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 July, 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 $550 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $175 • Rent top-up: $280 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Amazing support system

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.
