Back on our feet: Suresh and two young children in Mumbai
Suresh and two young children need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇮🇳 Mumbai, Maharashtra, India758 views
Since my partner leaving in July, 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 November, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $270
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $55
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Suresh. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Mumbai!
