Last March I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $3,450 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $550 • Rent top-up: $2,300 • Childcare and after-school care: $600 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Eun-ji
