After my partner leaving in July, I'm now raising three children under 7 on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $450 goes: • Rent top-up: $175 • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Course fees and exam costs: $145 Glad we found this place. - Raghavan

      Hang in there. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Cali so I could bring a meal. All the best

      • Sending strength, Raghavan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        • Sending good thoughts, Raghavan. Your post was clear and honest

            Rooting for you, Raghavan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of New Delhi.

            • keep going. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.

              • Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Jessore.

                • Wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Sent it to 6 people at work. All the best.
