Last April I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $3,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,350
• Course fees and exam costs: $300

You're not alone. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. All the best.
thinking of you and your family, Milan. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
