Back on our feet: Shweta and two young children in Kolkata

Shweta and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Kolkata
After my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising two young 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by July, 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 $550 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $165 • Rent top-up: $230 • Groceries and school meals: $155 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Shweta

    Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Kolkata.

      hope things get better soon, Shweta. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. God bless

        hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Biratnagar this morning.
