Thanh is a single parent of two young children - help us after a sudden redundancy

After a sudden redundancy in April, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $160 • Childcare and after-school care: $120 • Groceries and school meals: $160 • Course fees and exam costs: $60 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
