After a sudden redundancy in May, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 August, 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 $350 goes: • Rent top-up: $230 • Course fees and exam costs: $50 • Groceries and school meals: $70 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lina

              Stay strong, Lina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Veracruz
