Help Sandesh get through 4 hard months with three children under 6

After a long illness in September, I'm now raising three children under 6 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 teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $400 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Childcare and after-school care: $125
• Rent top-up: $205
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 28 people at work.
Thanks for sharing this, Sandesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Hyderabad.
thinking of you, Sandesh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier!
Sending strength, Sandesh. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Bangkok this morning. Greetings from Bangkok
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Denpasar donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Praying for you, Sandesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Kyiv!
