After the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $3,250 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $360 • Rent top-up: $1,800 • Groceries and school meals: $1,090 Glad we found this place. - Nicolás

  • Hope it all works out, Nicolás. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.

    • Wishing you the best, Nicolás. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Kanpur so I could bring a meal. Love from Jaipur

          So sorry you're going through this, Nicolás. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Lahore.
