Babu is a single parent of two young children - help us after my partner leaving
A single father in Mumbai needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Babu retrains.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India1,046 views
Since my partner leaving in November, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 February, 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 $800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $370
• Childcare and after-school care: $250
• Groceries and school meals: $70
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
