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

Victoria and four children need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Last December I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 February, 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 $4,650 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,800 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,100 • Groceries and school meals: $1,100 • Course fees and exam costs: $650 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Victoria

    I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Coimbatore.
