Help Mukesh get through 3 hard months with two young children
After the death of my husband, Mukesh is raising two young children alone and needs $500 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Last July I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising two young children 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 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.
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:
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Rent top-up: $225
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Mukesh. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Mukesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 28 years in engineering I know how hard it is to ask for anything
Hope things get better soon, Mukesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
stay strong, Mukesh. Hope this works out for you. Love from Butwal
hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Mapo this morning.
Good luck, Mukesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
thanks for sharing this, Mukesh. I hope things turn around soon
Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 33 people at work. Thinking of Hubballi.
wishing you peace, Mukesh. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together
Thinking of you and your family, Mukesh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Wudil donated after I showed her your page. Love from Wudil.
