Last July I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $3,550 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,100 • Childcare and after-school care: $800 • Groceries and school meals: $1,300 • Course fees and exam costs: $350 Thanks for reading all this.
