Oky is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a sudden redundancy
Oky and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Last September I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $400 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Rent top-up: $195
• Childcare and after-school care: $135
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this, Oky. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
