Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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:
• Rent top-up: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

We're at 27% thanks to 3 of you. the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. More news soon. - Tejas
Good news. Because of your gifts ($10 in total) the plan for rent top-up is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely. - Tejas
Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($35). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent top-up.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Tejas?
Thanks for sharing this, Tejas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
how is Tejas doing now?
Rooting for you, Tejas. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Pune!
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Nagpur this morning. Thinking of Pune!
Good luck, Tejas. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Good luck, Tejas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Marseille donated after I showed her your page.
