Back on our feet: Sathish and two young children in Nashik
A single mother in Nashik needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Sathish retrains.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India687 views
After a house fire in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $340
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
• Groceries and school meals: $75
With deep gratitude,
Sathish

Good luck. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
