Help Vaibhav get through 4 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school

After my partner leaving in August, 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 pharmacy technician 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $240 • Childcare and after-school care: $180 • Groceries and school meals: $165 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
