Since a sudden redundancy in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $230 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $75 • Course fees and exam costs: $85 Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Putri

Thank you all. We're at 68% now ($340). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.
