Back on our feet: Harish and three children under 11 in Chennai
Harish and three children under 11 need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇮🇳 Tamil Nadu, India812 views
Last October I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $500 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $55
• Rent top-up: $330
• Groceries and school meals: $115
Thanks for being kind about this.

sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from București.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Harish?
Thank you. If you're in Chennai I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.
take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Chennai.
how is Harish doing now?
Sending good thoughts, Harish. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update.
Thinking of you, Harish. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
