After a house fire in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $350
• Childcare and after-school care: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $95
• Course fees and exam costs: $125
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
