Last August I went through the death of my husband, and 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 pharmacy technician 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 $4,550 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,950 • Childcare and after-school care: $890 • Groceries and school meals: $1,000 • Course fees and exam costs: $710 With deep gratitude, Reagan

      Wishing you peace. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless

        Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. After 28 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
