Nashik

Last September I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 January, 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 $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $185 • Childcare and after-school care: $135 • Groceries and school meals: $85 • Course fees and exam costs: $145 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Madhuri

Good news. Because of your gifts ($262 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($77 in total) I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending good thoughts. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Nashik.
