Back on our feet: Rashmi and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Hubballi

Rashmi and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Hubballi
After the death of my husband in June, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $220 • Childcare and after-school care: $170 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $65 I hope life is good to you.

    Thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.

      Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Enugu so I could bring a meal. Love from Zanzibar City!

        Hope things get better soon, Rashmi. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day!

          hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.

            Hope things get better soon. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Hubballi.
