Varanasi

Last December I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 April, 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: $250 • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Groceries and school meals: $125 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 Thank you so much. - Mehul
