Since a house fire in June, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $4,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,550
• Course fees and exam costs: $400
• Groceries and school meals: $1,200
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Kendall
Small update. $821 so far, I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($546 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of New York.
Take care, Kendall. I hope things turn around soon
Hope it all works out. Hope you get there. Love from San Diego!
