Last November I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising three children under 9 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 March, 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: $220
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $65
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I hope things turn around soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Pune.

Thanks for sharing this, Shefali. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Seoul this morning. All the best.

Hang in there, Shefali. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.
You're not alone. Hope this works out for you. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Shefali. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
