After my partner leaving in May, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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 $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $200 • Childcare and after-school care: $145 • Groceries and school meals: $100 • Course fees and exam costs: $105 I hope life is good to you. - Neelam

    shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning. Greetings from Gazipur

    • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Lucknow.

      • thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. God bless

        • Good luck, Neelam. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better

          • Sending good thoughts. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
