Since a divorce in June, I'm now raising four 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 web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $3,800 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,700
• Childcare and after-school care: $570
• Groceries and school meals: $920
• Course fees and exam costs: $610
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending love, Sneha. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Islamabad but we're thinking of you.
Sending good thoughts, Sneha. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
So sorry you're going through this, Sneha. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Jinja donated after I showed her your page. Take care
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours!
praying for you, Sneha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
rooting for you. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Coimbatore.
