Ian and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 November, 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 $2,100 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $440 • Childcare and after-school care: $730 • Rent top-up: $930 Every share and every dollar helps. - Ian

    Good luck, Ian. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
