Last August 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 part-time receptionist, 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 December, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $30
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Aswan
