Last September I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 8 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 December, 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 $1,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $580
• Childcare and after-school care: $340
• Groceries and school meals: $240
• Course fees and exam costs: $240
Every share and every dollar helps.

Take care, Joaquim. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
