Since the death of my husband in August, 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $370
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $55
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hang in there, Tabitha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Riyadh.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Orlando.
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Love from Cairo.
Thinking of you. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
