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.
