Back on our feet: Venkatesh and twin daughters in Mysuru
A single parent in Mysuru needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Venkatesh retrains.

After a divorce in August, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 December, 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 $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $170
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
I hope life is good to you.

Hope things get better soon, Venkatesh. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Cologne.
Wishing you the best, Venkatesh. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out
Thinking of you and your family, Venkatesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier
praying for you, Venkatesh. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
