Ankit is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after my partner leaving
Ankit and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Last August I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $310
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Reading donated after I showed her your page. Love from Reading.
Good luck, Ankit. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
