Help Prachi get through 5 hard months with three children under 8

Since the death of my husband in August, I'm now raising three children under 8 on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Course fees and exam costs: $40
• Childcare and after-school care: $230
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending strength. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. God bless.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Durgapur.
Thank you. If you're in Durgapur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Fair thing to want to know.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Durgapur.
praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care
Sending good thoughts. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Syracuse.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Prachi
Rent top-up is $280 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Bhaktapur donated after I showed her your page. Blessings
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
So sorry you're going through this, Prachi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Prachi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 31 people at work. Love from Saket.
praying for you, Prachi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending love, Prachi. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 11 years in construction I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
