After the death of my husband in September, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $4,550 goes: • Rent top-up: $2,000 • Childcare and after-school care: $950 • Groceries and school meals: $1,050 • Course fees and exam costs: $550 I hope life is good to you.
