Back on our feet: Kshitija and a toddler and a seven-year-old in New Delhi
Kshitija and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a divorce.

Since a divorce in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 November, 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:
• Rent top-up: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $120
• Course fees and exam costs: $45
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of New Delhi
Thinking of you and your family, Kshitija. Shared this with my family.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kshitija

Hang in there. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'll check back for the next update. Blessings.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless
Rooting for you, Kshitija. Hope you get there. Love from Mumbai.
sending love, Kshitija. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of New Delhi.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of New Delhi
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of New Delhi.
You're not alone, Kshitija. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
