Since a sudden redundancy in July, 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 an electrician 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 $400 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $170 • Course fees and exam costs: $60 • Rent top-up: $170 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Updates from Musa

Thank you all. We're at 83% now ($331). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.
Small update. $275 so far, I made the first payment toward rent top-up.
36% there. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Thank you. - Musa
