Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $2,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,000
• Course fees and exam costs: $580
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,070
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Love from Howrah
Best of luck, Liliana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 25 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Tokyo
Keep going, Liliana. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Jessore.
