After the death of my husband in July, 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 web developer 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 $4,300 goes: β€’ Groceries and school meals: $1,050 β€’ Course fees and exam costs: $730 β€’ Rent top-up: $2,520 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Owen
