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.

Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in New York but we're thinking of you.
