Since my partner leaving in June, 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 September, 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 $4,050 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,900 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,000 • Groceries and school meals: $590 • Course fees and exam costs: $560 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
