Since a house fire in February, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 April, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $700 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Childcare and after-school care: $325
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Hope things get better soon, Itzel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
