Last December I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 February, 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 $2,900 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $980 • Rent top-up: $1,500 • Groceries and school meals: $420 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Nasser

                              so sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Dundee
