After a long illness in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant 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: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $80
• Course fees and exam costs: $125

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Dwarka
so sorry you're going through this, Rashmi. Hope this works out for you. After 19 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Praying for you, Rashmi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
keep going, Rashmi. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
