After my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $800 goes: • Rent top-up: $430 • Childcare and after-school care: $175 • Groceries and school meals: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $65 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ramon
