Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 $3,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $870
• Groceries and school meals: $770
• Course fees and exam costs: $810
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Lucas
Quick update: $1,895 raised so far (53%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
