Lalitpur
After a long illness in August, I'm now raising three children under 10 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 teaching assistant 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $320 • Childcare and after-school care: $190 • Groceries and school meals: $95 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Parvati

    Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

      Hang in there, Parvati. Your post was clear and honest. After 11 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best
