After a house fire in December, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $360
• Childcare and after-school care: $250
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
I hope life is good to you.

sending love. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Sending good thoughts, Jayson. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 11 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Take care, Jayson. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
