Last July I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $500 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $100 • Rent top-up: $220 • Groceries and school meals: $180 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Bikash

Updates from Bikash

  1. Thank you all. We're at 42% now ($210). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.

  • Wishing you peace, Bikash. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Los Angeles.

    • stay strong, Bikash. Shared it with a few friends. We're a small family in Kobe but we're thinking of you. Take care

        Thinking of you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Chicago.
