Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 $2,800 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $640
• Course fees and exam costs: $630
• Rent top-up: $1,530
Thanks for being kind about this.

I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Liverpool
Good luck, Lucas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Kano
Good luck, Lucas. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Take care
