Last March I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $190 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $165 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 I hope life is good to you.

        Thinking of you, Lia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
