Since a long illness in August, 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 teaching assistant 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $350 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
• Childcare and after-school care: $135
• Groceries and school meals: $120
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
wishing you peace, Rose. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
wishing you the best, Rose. Looking forward to the next update.
