Back on our feet: Suresh and four children in Nashik
A single father in Nashik needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Suresh retrains.

Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 $450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $130
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Childcare and after-school care: $215
Thank you so much.

You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care
You're not alone, Suresh. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Take care. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Rohini so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Karachi
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Springfield.
So sorry you're going through this, Suresh. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps!
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Suresh
Sure. The biggest one is course fees and exam costs, $130. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Happy to explain more.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Aurora
Stay strong, Suresh. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Nashik.
Sending good thoughts, Suresh. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 21 people at work. All the best.
Take care, Suresh. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Nashik.
Sending good thoughts, Suresh. This could happen to any of us. God bless.
