After the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $1,850 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $680 • Course fees and exam costs: $620 • Groceries and school meals: $550 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • good luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Christchurch.

    • Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.

          Thank you. If you're in Christchurch I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

      • Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 21 people at work.

        • a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Canterbury. I'll ask around and let you know
