Help Rutuja get through 4 hard months with two young children
After my partner leaving, Rutuja is raising two young children alone and needs $650 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Last November I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 January, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $230
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
With deep gratitude,
Rutuja

Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Take care, Rutuja. Hope you get there. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from San Diego
Sending good thoughts, Rutuja. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps.
