Since a divorce in November, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, 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 February, 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 $1,050 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $350
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Bursa
