Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $1,050 goes: • Rent top-up: $430 • Childcare and after-school care: $290 • Groceries and school meals: $230 • Course fees and exam costs: $100 I hope life is good to you.

  • Best of luck, Soledad. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

    • Rooting for you, Soledad. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best

      • Take care. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 21 people at work. God bless.

        • Hang in there. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Cali.

          • everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Cali.
