Since a sudden redundancy in May, I'm now raising two young children 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $800 goes: • Rent top-up: $350 • Childcare and after-school care: $185 • Groceries and school meals: $150 • Course fees and exam costs: $115 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Oky

      is there anything that isn't money that would help Oky?

      • Roman Garcia

        take care, Oky. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 15 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
