Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children 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 November, 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 $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $155 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $105 • Course fees and exam costs: $110 Thanks for being kind about this. - Joshua
