Teresita is a single parent of four children - help us after a house fire

After a house fire in October, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 January, 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 $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $200 • Childcare and after-school care: $160 • Groceries and school meals: $90 • Course fees and exam costs: $100 Thank you for reading my story. - Teresita
