After my partner leaving, Nisha is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $4,350 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Last January I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $4,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $720
• Groceries and school meals: $1,050
• Course fees and exam costs: $580
I hope life is good to you.

keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Houston.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Houston
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Houston
Rooting for you, Nisha. Your post was clear and honest
