After a house fire in March, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $3,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,300
• Childcare and after-school care: $700
• Groceries and school meals: $460
• Course fees and exam costs: $590
If you're reading this, thank you.

praying for you, Lillian. Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Mapo
Hang in there, Lillian. Hope you get there.
Sending love. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Albuquerque.
