Last May I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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 $4,150 goes: • Rent top-up: $2,050 • Childcare and after-school care: $630 • Groceries and school meals: $730 • Course fees and exam costs: $740 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
