Back on our feet: Shailesh and two young children in Aurangabad

Since the death of my husband in March, I'm now raising two young children 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 May, 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: $230 • Childcare and after-school care: $155 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $120 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Shailesh
