Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 November, 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 $300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $130
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Childcare and after-school care: $65
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hang in there, Tizita. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
