Beersheba
Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $3,300 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,100 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,000 • Groceries and school meals: $790 • Course fees and exam costs: $410 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Sivan

    Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 6 people at work. Thinking of Beersheba.
