Last May I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $300
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
