Since a house fire in February, 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $900 goes: • Rent top-up: $350 • Childcare and after-school care: $250 • Groceries and school meals: $135 • Course fees and exam costs: $165 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Kipchoge
