Help Julia get through 5 hard months with two young children
Julia and two young children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

After the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $2,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Course fees and exam costs: $410
• Groceries and school meals: $690
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Julia
Rent top-up is $1,500 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Let me know if you want more detail.
Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
