Back on our feet: Kalyani and three children under 10 in Hyderabad
Kalyani and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇮🇳 India915 views
After a house fire in December, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Childcare and after-school care: $235
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Best of luck, Kalyani. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Zapopan this morning.
hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. God bless!
sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Dasmariñas.
stay strong, Kalyani. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
