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

  1. 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.

  2. Small update. $569 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
