Back on our feet: Dipu and a toddler and a seven-year-old in London
Dipu and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world4,261 views
Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder 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 $3,100 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,050
• Groceries and school meals: $670
• Course fees and exam costs: $330
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
Updates from Dipu
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,792 in total) the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

rooting for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dipu.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($1,050) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
So sorry you're going through this, Dipu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best
Hope you get there. Greetings from Gazipur
wishing you peace, Dipu. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings
