Last May I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $1,650 goes: โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $410 โ€ข Rent top-up: $1,000 โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $240 Every share and every dollar helps. - Sara
