Back on our feet: Sachin and a toddler and a seven-year-old in Hubballi
After the death of my husband, Sachin is raising a toddler and a seven-year-old alone and needs $450 to stay afloat for 5 months.

After the death of my husband in September, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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 $450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $90
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Rent top-up: $275
Thank you so much.

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Love from Córdoba.
Thinking of you. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Bangkok
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Karnataka. I'll ask around and let you know
Thanks for sharing this. Hope you get there. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Hubballi
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
