After a sudden redundancy in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $490
• Rent top-up: $260
• Groceries and school meals: $300
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you, Inés. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
You're not alone, Inés. Your post was clear and honest.
Take care, Inés. Shared this with my family. Love from Newcastle.
