After my partner leaving in July, 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 web developer 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 $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $200 • Childcare and after-school care: $100 • Groceries and school meals: $140 • Course fees and exam costs: $110 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Prachi

        so sorry you're going through this, Prachi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

          Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Nagpur.
