Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $130
• Childcare and after-school care: $105
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
