Back on our feet: Paresh and four children in Nagpur
A single father in Nagpur needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Paresh retrains.
🇮🇳 Nagpur, Maharashtra, India1,699 views
After a long illness in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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.
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:
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Rent top-up: $265
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you and your family, Paresh. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Good luck, Paresh. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Paresh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care
Thanks for sharing this, Paresh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Nagpur.
So sorry you're going through this, Paresh. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Kochi
Thinking of you, Paresh. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Nagpur.
Hope it all works out, Paresh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Praying for you, Paresh. Hope you get there. God bless.
