Last July I went through a sudden redundancy, and 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $300
• Childcare and after-school care: $120
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $35
Thank you so much.

Best of luck, Tahmina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 18 people at work.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
