Since the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $340 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $210 • Course fees and exam costs: $40 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Teodoro

  • Stay strong. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Leeds
