Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 9 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 pharmacy technician 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $195
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $65
• Course fees and exam costs: $30
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Babu.
Rent top-up is $195 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.
Thinking of you and your family, Babu. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Ahmedabad
looking forward to the next update. Love from Makati
Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 24 people at work.
Wishing you the best. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
