After a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $1,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $560
• Childcare and after-school care: $300
• Groceries and school meals: $310
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Kelly. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We're a small family in Da Nang but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family, Kelly. Shared it with a few friends. After 19 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Belém.
Thanks for sharing this, Kelly. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Surat.
