Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 September, 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 $3,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,850
• Groceries and school meals: $620
• Course fees and exam costs: $530
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there, Raphaël. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
Thinking of you, Raphaël. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Raphaël
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $1,850, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.

Wishing you peace, Raphaël. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too!
