After a sudden redundancy in February, 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $1,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $580
• Childcare and after-school care: $320
• Groceries and school meals: $290
• Course fees and exam costs: $210
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Abbottabad donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Sending love, Sebastião. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Brasília
