Since my partner leaving in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $400 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $95
• Rent top-up: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $135
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Benin City
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Kyoto.
Praying for you, Jagadish. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope it all works out, Jagadish. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Chennai.
You're not alone, Jagadish. Shared this with my family. It's not much but it's yours!
So sorry you're going through this, Jagadish. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 13 people at work. All the best.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Chennai!
Hang in there, Jagadish. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. God bless.
I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Chennai.
