Last October I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising two young children 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,500
• Groceries and school meals: $690
• Rent top-up: $2,010
Thank you so much.
Updates from Rebecca
Small update. $281 so far, I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.
Small update. $181 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.
Update from San Diego: the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
