Help Kelvin get through 4 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Kelvin and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in September, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $500 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $190
• Rent top-up: $155
• Groceries and school meals: $155
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

thinking of you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Tampa.
Keep going, Kelvin. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Los Angeles.
Sending strength, Kelvin. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
