Help Aravind get through 3 hard months with four children

Aravind and four children need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Since the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 August, 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: • Rent top-up: $250 • Childcare and after-school care: $150 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $55 Glad we found this place.

  • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 13 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
