Help Jewel get through 3 hard months with two young children

Jewel and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

After the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $500 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $175 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 • Rent top-up: $230 Every share and every dollar helps. - Jewel
