Jerusalem
After a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 dental nurse 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $2,650 goes: • Rent top-up: $920 • Groceries and school meals: $950 • Childcare and after-school care: $780 Thank you for reading my story.

    keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Jerusalem.

            you're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home

              I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Jerusalem.
