Last July I went through the death of my husband, 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 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 $3,800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Childcare and after-school care: $790
• Groceries and school meals: $760
• Course fees and exam costs: $550
If you're reading this, thank you.
Updates from Liliana
Update from Albany: I made the first payment toward rent top-up. We're at 45% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($889 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Thinking of Albany.
