After a sudden redundancy in April, 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $200
• Rent top-up: $720
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you the best, Maurício. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
Praying for you. Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Take care
Sending strength, Maurício. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Maurício. Hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Leeds this morning. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Santos.
