Last June I went through a house fire, and 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 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 $2,850 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $630
• Rent top-up: $1,450
• Groceries and school meals: $770
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

stay strong. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
how is Tammy doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Tammy. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Campinas.
Sending strength, Tammy. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.
gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
hope things get better soon, Tammy. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Hope this works out for you. After 26 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Surat.
Wishing you peace, Tammy. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Hope you get there. I hope October is when things finally get easier. God bless
