Back on our feet: Vidya and twin daughters in Thane
A single father in Thane needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Vidya retrains.

Since a divorce in June, 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 September, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $360
• Childcare and after-school care: $110
• Groceries and school meals: $125
• Course fees and exam costs: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

stay strong, Vidya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
you're not alone. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
rooting for you, Vidya. Hope you get there. All the best.
