Last July I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising four 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $350 goes: โ€ข Rent top-up: $175 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $130 โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $45 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
