Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $950 goes:
• Rent top-up: $330
• Childcare and after-school care: $270
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Course fees and exam costs: $165
Thanks for reading all this.
