Help Payal get through 6 hard months with a toddler and a seven-year-old
Payal and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India179 views
Last June I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, 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 October, 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:
• Rent top-up: $135
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $175
• Course fees and exam costs: $75
With deep gratitude,
Payal

Good news. Because of your gifts ($193 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Good luck, Payal. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
