After a house fire in July, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $3,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,800 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,050 • Course fees and exam costs: $500 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Hope it all works out, Lena. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon.

        Thanks for sharing this, Lena. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Joliet

          Take care, Lena. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.

            Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care
