After a long illness in March, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,800
• Childcare and after-school care: $830
• Course fees and exam costs: $320
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Michel?
