Back on our feet: Diya and twin daughters in Patna

Diya and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in April, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 June, 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 $600 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $125 • Rent top-up: $280 • Childcare and after-school care: $195 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Diya

            Hope things get better soon, Diya. This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Patna

            • Thanks for sharing this, Diya. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
