After a sudden redundancy in March, I'm now raising four 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $1,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $860
• Course fees and exam costs: $310
• Childcare and after-school care: $480
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from Josiane
Thank you all. We're at 74% now ($1,214). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.
Small update. $569 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
