Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 dental nurse 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 $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $185
• Childcare and after-school care: $100
• Groceries and school meals: $80
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
Glad we found this place.

Wishing you peace. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Santos so I could bring a meal.
Take care, Lipi. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
So sorry you're going through this, Lipi. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Dwarka so I could bring a meal. Take care
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Sent it to 28 people at work.
hope it all works out, Lipi. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
Keep going, Lipi. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
