Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $4,200 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Rent top-up: $2,300
• Course fees and exam costs: $750
Thank you so much.

Stay strong, Noah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Wishing you the best. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
You're not alone, Noah. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this, Noah. Hope you get there. Take care.
Best of luck, Noah. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. All the best.
Hang in there, Noah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
