Back on our feet: Bhavna and four children in Pune

After a house fire in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 October, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $140 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $155 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Bhavna
