After my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 $400 goes: โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $145 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $115 โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $140 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Shaista
