Help Lata get through 4 hard months with four children
After the death of my husband, Lata is raising four children alone and needs $350 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last August I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $350 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Groceries and school meals: $115
Thanks for being kind about this.

sending love, Lata. This could happen to any of us. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Dammam.
Thinking of you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Thinking of Pune.
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Mumbai.
rooting for you, Lata. Shared it with a few friends. Don't give up. Blessings.
gave what I could, wish it was more. After 12 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Mumbai
