Since my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 October, 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 $400 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $125 • Rent top-up: $145 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Siddharth
