A single parent in Sydney needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Tammy retrains.

After 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 cleaner, 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 December, 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 $4,250 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,850
• Childcare and after-school care: $740
• Groceries and school meals: $1,100
• Course fees and exam costs: $560
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

You're not alone, Tammy. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Sydney.
Good luck, Tammy. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Sydney.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
sending good thoughts, Tammy. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Bakersfield.
Wishing you the best, Tammy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
