Priya is a single parent of two young children - help us after my partner leaving
Priya and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Last May I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising two young 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $165
• Childcare and after-school care: $100
• Groceries and school meals: $135
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
