Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Rent top-up: $155
• Groceries and school meals: $75
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Linda. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Linda?
Sending love, Linda. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours.
Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Greetings from Bristol.
