Back on our feet: Nasrin and twin daughters in Bengaluru
Nasrin and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇮🇳 Karnataka, India1,880 views
After my partner leaving in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 October, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $150
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Nasrin?
Thank you. If you're in Bengaluru I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Thanks for sharing this, Nasrin. Hope you get there. Don't give up. Greetings from Mapo
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. All the best.
Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. Don't give up. Greetings from San Jose.
