After a house fire in May, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 July, 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 $2,650 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $850 • Rent top-up: $1,450 • Course fees and exam costs: $350 Thank you for reading my story.

  • this could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Sydney!

    • Keep going. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Regensburg.

      • Wishing you the best, Kevin. Your post was clear and honest.

        • Hope things get better soon, Kevin. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
