Back on our feet: Rahima and twin daughters in Siliguri
A single parent in Siliguri needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Rahima retrains.

After my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising twin daughters 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 pharmacy technician 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $350 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $95
• Childcare and after-school care: $125
• Rent top-up: $130
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you, Rahima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'll check back for the next update. All the best!
Stay strong, Rahima. Hope this works out for you. God bless.
Hang in there, Rahima. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Siliguri.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Siliguri!
Hope it all works out. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Chattogram so I could bring a meal
