Owen is a single parent of two young children - help us after my partner leaving
After my partner leaving, Owen is raising two young children alone and needs $3,850 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since my partner leaving in February, I'm now raising two young children 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 May, 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 $3,850 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Groceries and school meals: $700
Thank you so much.
