Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,500
• Childcare and after-school care: $510
• Groceries and school meals: $680
• Course fees and exam costs: $760
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck, Paul. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Braunschweig.
Stay strong, Paul. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't give up. Greetings from Kilkenny.
Hope things get better soon. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 30 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Kaduna
