Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $1,500 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $580 • Groceries and school meals: $510 • Course fees and exam costs: $410 Thank you so much.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 7% now ($109). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.
