Back on our feet: Babu and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Khulna
After my partner leaving, Babu is raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school alone and needs $550 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Since my partner leaving in February, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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: $170
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
• Groceries and school meals: $115
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
With deep gratitude,
Babu

is there anything that isn't money that would help Babu?
Thank you. If you're in Khulna I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Khulna.
You're not alone, Babu. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless
thinking of you. Hope this works out for you. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Rockford
