After a divorce in July, 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $280 • Childcare and after-school care: $155 • Course fees and exam costs: $65 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Naresh

    Hang in there, Naresh. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
