Since a house fire in July, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $750 goes: • Rent top-up: $300 • Childcare and after-school care: $200 • Groceries and school meals: $180 • Course fees and exam costs: $70 Thanks for being kind about this.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zeynep

    • Sure. The biggest one is rent top-up, $300. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.

  • Thanks for sharing this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
