Help Kalyani get through 6 hard months with four children

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

Since the death of my husband in August, 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $350 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $140 • Course fees and exam costs: $105 • Groceries and school meals: $105 Thanks for being kind about this. - Kalyani

Updates from Kalyani

  1. We're at 29% thanks to 4 of you. we've started the first stage. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($307 in total) I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 20% funded and the plan for childcare and after-school care is now scheduled.
