Last July I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 December, 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 $2,900 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,450
• Rent top-up: $1,150
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
With deep gratitude,
Ravi

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ravi.
best of luck, Ravi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
So sorry you're going through this, Ravi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best!
