Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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 $850 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $200 • Childcare and after-school care: $420 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
