Help Taylor get through 4 hard months with three children under 6
After the death of my husband, Taylor is raising three children under 6 alone and needs $3,350 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since the death of my husband in September, I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $840
• Childcare and after-school care: $690
• Groceries and school meals: $1,150
• Course fees and exam costs: $670
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope it all works out. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!
You're not alone, Taylor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Wishing you the best, Taylor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings
