Help Vandana get through 5 hard months with three children under 5

Vandana and three children under 5 need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $500 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $115 • Rent top-up: $230 • Childcare and after-school care: $155 If you're reading this, thank you. - Vandana

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vandana

            Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. course fees and exam costs comes first ($115) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
