Last July I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $185
• Childcare and after-school care: $200
• Groceries and school meals: $110
• Course fees and exam costs: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

Hope you get there. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Stay strong, Rajesh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Tiruchirappalli
Thank you. If you're in Tiruchirappalli I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Shared it with a few friends. My neighbor in Tijuana donated after I showed her your page.
Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli
Thinking of you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Rajesh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Thinking of Tiruchirappalli
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Heliopolis!
Wishing you the best, Rajesh. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Thanks for sharing this, Rajesh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
