Last September 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 part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $4,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,300
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,300
• Groceries and school meals: $890
• Course fees and exam costs: $510
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Praying for you, Isabelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care
take care, Isabelle. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Isabelle
Rent top-up is $1,300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Hope it all works out, Isabelle. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Bucaramanga.
so sorry you're going through this, Isabelle. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 9 people at work.
