A single parent in Bhaktapur needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Suresh retrains.

Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $175
• Childcare and after-school care: $105
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
With deep gratitude,
Suresh

Sending love, Suresh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. After 23 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
