Since the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $620
• Groceries and school meals: $560
• Rent top-up: $970
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

You're not alone, Rafael. I hope things turn around soon. God bless!
Hope it all works out, Rafael. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
