Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $3,650 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,700 • Childcare and after-school care: $730 • Groceries and school meals: $850 • Course fees and exam costs: $370 Thank you so much. - Sebastián
