🇦🇺 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia3,615 views
After a divorce in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician 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 $4,300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,250
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,400
• Groceries and school meals: $1,150
• Course fees and exam costs: $500
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you, Stephanie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Please keep us posted.
Sending good thoughts, Stephanie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Sydney
Wishing you the best, Stephanie. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too
stay strong. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Quezon City.
Sending strength. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless
