After my partner leaving, Raymond is raising four children alone and needs $3,800 to stay afloat for 5 months.

Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $3,800 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $670
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,100
• Rent top-up: $2,030
With deep gratitude,
Raymond

a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Nagpur.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Raymond!
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. course fees and exam costs is the biggest at $670. I'll keep the page updated.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Good luck, Raymond. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'll check back for the next update.
Good luck, Raymond. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Sydney.
