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!

    • Radha F. MalhotraOwnerAnswer

      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.
