Back on our feet: Aadhya and three children under 11 in Ahmedabad
A single mother in Ahmedabad needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Aadhya retrains.

Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $250
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Groceries and school meals: $110
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
Thanks for reading all this.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 38 people at work. Love from Embakasi.
Best of luck. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Thinking of you and your family. Hope you get there. Greetings from Bergamo.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
