Since the death of my husband in April, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 July, 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 $1,500 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $420 • Childcare and after-school care: $680 • Groceries and school meals: $400 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Marco
