Since a long illness in January, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 April, 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 $4,200 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $1,450 • Groceries and school meals: $780 • Rent top-up: $1,970 Thank you for reading my story. - Weston

Updates from Weston

  1. Thank you all. We're at 16% now ($664). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

    What exactly is the $4,200 for?

    • Weston HatfieldOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is childcare and after-school care, $1,450. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Appreciate you taking the time.
