Since a divorce in October, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by January, 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 $2,650 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,250 • Childcare and after-school care: $940 • Groceries and school meals: $460 Thanks for reading all this. - Victoria

  • shared this with my family. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

    • Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Take care.

      • Wishing you peace, Victoria. This could happen to any of us. All the best
