Back on our feet: Radha and twin daughters in Los Angeles
After my partner leaving, Radha is raising twin daughters alone and needs $4,000 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last January I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $4,000 goes:
• Rent top-up: $2,050
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,550
• Course fees and exam costs: $400
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Radha!
Rent top-up is $2,050 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
Keep going, Radha. Hope this works out for you.
Wishing you peace, Radha. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Kampala.
Thinking of you and your family, Radha. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Abbottabad donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out, Radha. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Hope it all works out, Radha. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Blessings.
Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Columbus.
