After a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising three children under 7 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 September, 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 $2,350 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $860 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,000 • Course fees and exam costs: $490 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Marcus

    Wishing you the best, Marcus. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
