Last April I went through my partner leaving, and 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $3,650 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,650 • Childcare and after-school care: $730 • Groceries and school meals: $770 • Course fees and exam costs: $500 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
