Samuel is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a divorce

After a divorce in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $340 • Childcare and after-school care: $125 • Groceries and school meals: $125 • Course fees and exam costs: $110 Glad we found this place. - Samuel
