After my partner leaving in November, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 February, 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 $600 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
• Rent top-up: $395
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

So sorry you're going through this, Gopal. Shared it with a few friends.
Stay strong. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Seville

Hope it all works out, Gopal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. All the best
You're not alone, Gopal. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Praying for you. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from St. Louis

You're not alone, Gopal. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We're a small family in Buenos Aires but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you the best. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We're a small family in Lansing but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Siliguri.
Praying for you, Gopal. Hope this works out for you. Thinking of Siliguri
