Help Ravi get through 3 hard months with three children under 10

Ravi and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Since a long illness in February, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a driver, 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 May, 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 $600 goes: • Rent top-up: $200 • Childcare and after-school care: $175 • Groceries and school meals: $125 • Course fees and exam costs: $100 I hope life is good to you. - Ravi
