After my partner leaving in September, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 December, 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 $2,050 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $450
• Course fees and exam costs: $690
• Rent top-up: $910
Thank you for reading my story.

sending good thoughts, Waylon. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Best of luck, Waylon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless
Wishing you peace, Waylon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Waylon. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Juiz de Fora so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Thane.
