Last May I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,600
• Childcare and after-school care: $830
• Groceries and school meals: $680
• Course fees and exam costs: $490
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Wanted to say thank you properly. 4% funded and I made the first payment toward rent top-up.

Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Love from Recife.
So sorry you're going through this, Yui. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Katowice but we're thinking of you. Love from Katowice
