Since the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising three children under 10 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 July, 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 $2,150 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $460
• Childcare and after-school care: $860
• Groceries and school meals: $830
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Paris.
Good luck. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Cork
Thinking of you, Roberto. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 40 people at work. Take care.
