Back on our feet: Suresh and three children under 11 in Patna

Last June I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising three children under 11 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $350 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $105 • Groceries and school meals: $85 • Childcare and after-school care: $160 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Suresh
