Last March I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $3,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Groceries and school meals: $600
• Course fees and exam costs: $700
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
