João and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Last March I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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 $1,350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $510
• Childcare and after-school care: $340
• Groceries and school meals: $330
• Course fees and exam costs: $170
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
