After a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising two young children 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $4,400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,850
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,200
• Groceries and school meals: $1,050
• Course fees and exam costs: $300
Thanks for being kind about this.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Orlando.
praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
