Last February I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $1,100 goes: โ€ข Rent top-up: $350 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $370 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $220 โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $160 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Mauricio
