After a long illness in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 December, 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 $3,050 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $560 • Rent top-up: $1,850 • Childcare and after-school care: $640 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Kana
