Tim and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

After a long illness in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $2,550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,400
• Childcare and after-school care: $520
• Groceries and school meals: $420
• Course fees and exam costs: $210
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Rooting for you, Tim. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Shared it with a few friends. Love from Sherbrooke!
