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

Since a sudden redundancy in May, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $840 • Groceries and school meals: $930 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,430 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 12 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
