Back on our feet: Ananya and two young children in Mumbai

Since the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 September, 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 $300 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $85 • Course fees and exam costs: $65 • Childcare and after-school care: $150 Thanks for reading all this.
