Since a divorce in May, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $550 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $125 • Rent top-up: $330 • Groceries and school meals: $95 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
