Last December I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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: $125 • Course fees and exam costs: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    • Stay strong, Neha. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

      • hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Hialeah donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Aurangabad

        • Praying for you. Your post was clear and honest. Please keep us posted. Love from Guarulhos.

          • Best of luck, Neha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Take care
