Since a sudden redundancy in February, I'm now raising four children 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 April, 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 $550 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Rent top-up: $305
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Ananya
Wanted to say thank you properly. 92% funded and the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.
Update from Mangaluru: I made the first payment toward childcare and after-school care. We're at 54% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Thinking of you and your family, Ananya. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. After 6 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
