Since a long illness in January, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,300 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,450 • Childcare and after-school care: $670 • Groceries and school meals: $820 • Course fees and exam costs: $360 Thanks for being kind about this. - Jack
