João is a single parent of two young children - help us after a sudden redundancy

João and two young children need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in November, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $1,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $430 • Childcare and after-school care: $250 • Groceries and school meals: $370 • Course fees and exam costs: $150 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
