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. - Nadeem

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 34% funded and I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care.
