Last June I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 10 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 September, 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 $1,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $500
• Childcare and after-school care: $400
• Groceries and school meals: $320
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you and your family, Ximena. Hope this works out for you
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Ximena. Hope this works out for you.
