Back on our feet: Sathish and three children under 12 in Aurangabad
Sathish and three children under 12 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last July I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising three children under 12 on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 October, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $300
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

So sorry you're going through this. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 23 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Birmingham but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Aurangabad
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 33 people at work. Love from Dasmariñas
Hope it all works out, Sathish. Your post was clear and honest. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sathish
Rent top-up is $300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Sathish. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Moscow.
So sorry you're going through this. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Mumbai
looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours!
Thanks for sharing this, Sathish. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.
