Help Vishal get through 3 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school

Vishal and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Since a house fire in May, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 July, 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 $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $240 • Childcare and after-school care: $105 • Groceries and school meals: $105 • Course fees and exam costs: $100 With deep gratitude, Vishal
