Help Zhi get through 4 hard months with a teenage son and a daughter in primary school

Zhi and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Since my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 October, 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 $2,900 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $350 • Groceries and school meals: $770 • Rent top-up: $1,780 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Zhi

  1. 10% there. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($137 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
