Back on our feet: Payal and three children under 6 in Hubballi

Payal and three children under 6 need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Hubballi
Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 6 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $650 goes: • Rent top-up: $220 • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Groceries and school meals: $160 • Course fees and exam costs: $140 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Payal!

    • Payal M. OberoiOwnerAnswerID verified

      Rent top-up is $220 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. I'll keep the page updated.

  • Satish Rathore

    Hope things get better soon, Payal. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Jakarta.

    • Thomas Stefan Arnold

      Take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Sent it to 33 people at work. Take care

      • Tatiane Juliana Marques

        gave what I could, wish it was more. After 8 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Geelong.

        • Halima Idowu Hassan

          You're not alone, Payal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
