Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 bookkeeper 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 $4,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,450
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,250
• Groceries and school meals: $890
• Course fees and exam costs: $510
Thanks for reading all this.
- James

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for James
praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Jalandhar.
Rooting for you, James. Shared this with my family. Love from San Fernando.
