After a house fire in September, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $1,800 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $630
• Childcare and after-school care: $750
• Course fees and exam costs: $420
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Kieran. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted
looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Dublin.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.
so sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
