After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 December, 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 $2,900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,100
• Childcare and after-school care: $580
• Groceries and school meals: $770
• Course fees and exam costs: $450
If you're reading this, thank you.

Thinking of you, Laura. Hope you get there. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Latina but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you, Laura. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
take care, Laura. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
