Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $2,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $500
• Groceries and school meals: $310
• Course fees and exam costs: $240
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Sending love, Mariusz. Your post was clear and honest
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mariusz?
thinking of you. Hope you get there. Blessings
Keep going, Mariusz. Hope this works out for you. After 27 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Naivasha.
praying for you, Mariusz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't give up
