After a house fire in February, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $2,300 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $470
• Groceries and school meals: $870
• Rent top-up: $960
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Quinn
Quick update: $75 raised so far (3%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Vancouver: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 3% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
We're at 2% thanks to 1 of you. I made the first payment toward rent top-up. More news soon.

Hope it all works out, Quinn. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Vancouver.
