Deepa and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

After my partner leaving in March, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 June, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $140
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $75
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

wishing you the best, Deepa. Shared this with my family.
Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Take care
wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. After 25 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Deepa. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal. Take care
