Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $320 • Course fees and exam costs: $145 • Childcare and after-school care: $185 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
