Since a sudden redundancy in March, I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $3,350 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $580
• Rent top-up: $2,250
• Groceries and school meals: $520
With deep gratitude,
Travis

Best of luck, Travis. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
