Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $750 goes: โ€ข Rent top-up: $360 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $120 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $120 โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $150 Thanks for reading all this. - Lestari
