Last May I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 August, 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 $450 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $95 • Groceries and school meals: $130 • Rent top-up: $225 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Orlando

  • wishing you peace, Orlando. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
