After a house fire in August, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $450 goes: • Rent top-up: $170 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $140 • Course fees and exam costs: $30 Thanks for reading all this. - Pranjal

      Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Pune.

        Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about rent top-up, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.

    • I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Greetings from Lagos!

                        • Hang in there, Pranjal. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
