Last April I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 July, 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 $750 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Rent top-up: $395
Thanks for reading all this.

This could happen to any of us. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Campinas.
I hope things turn around soon. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Mangaluru
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Springfield so I could bring a meal
Stay strong, José. Shared this with my family. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Hồ Chí Minh City.
Hope it all works out, José. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Campinas.
