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.

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.
