Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $500 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $85 • Course fees and exam costs: $125 • Rent top-up: $290 Every share and every dollar helps. - Rebecca
