Pedro is a single parent of four children - help us after a sudden redundancy

Since a sudden redundancy in May, I'm now raising four 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $1,100 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $240 • Rent top-up: $670 • Groceries and school meals: $190 Thank you for reading my story. - Pedro
