Last February I went through a sudden redundancy, and 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $2,000 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $970
• Groceries and school meals: $640
• Course fees and exam costs: $390
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending strength, Travis. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Travis. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Swansea
good luck. Looking forward to the next update
Praying for you, Travis. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Rooting for you, Travis. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
Take care. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
