Mihaela is a single parent of a teenage son and a daughter in primary school - help us after the death of my husband

After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 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 $1,100 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $280 • Groceries and school meals: $280 • Rent top-up: $540 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Mihaela
