Zenaida is a single parent of twin daughters - help us after a sudden redundancy

Last March I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $140 • Course fees and exam costs: $130 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Zenaida
