Help Samuel get through 6 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school
Samuel and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

After the death of my husband in January, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $270
• Childcare and after-school care: $90
• Groceries and school meals: $80
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
Thanks for reading all this.
