Last May I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $4,150 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,000
• Childcare and after-school care: $950
• Groceries and school meals: $750
• Course fees and exam costs: $450
Every share and every dollar helps.
Updates from William
Thank you all. We're at 29% now ($1,213). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

Thanks for sharing this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Good luck, William. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Sending strength. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Keep going, William. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
Take care, William. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless.
