Since a sudden redundancy in June, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $900 goes:
• Rent top-up: $380
• Childcare and after-school care: $220
• Groceries and school meals: $185
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ho.
A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
Thinking of you and your family, Yaw. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rio de Janeiro
