Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 November, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $280
• Childcare and after-school care: $210
• Groceries and school meals: $75
• Course fees and exam costs: $85
Thanks for reading all this.

How is Sangita doing now?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. All the best
Sending strength, Sangita. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend!
Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Liverpool
Thinking of you and your family, Sangita. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Hang in there, Sangita. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
