Help Mateo get through 5 hard months with four children

Last July I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children 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 October, 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 $4,050 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,850 • Childcare and after-school care: $920 • Groceries and school meals: $950 • Course fees and exam costs: $330 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
