After a house fire in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 October, 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 $4,250 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $700
• Groceries and school meals: $630
• Course fees and exam costs: $720
Glad we found this place.

Take care, Pamela. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 28 people at work.
Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Mandaue this morning
