Last April I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising twin daughters 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $450 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $135 • Rent top-up: $270 • Course fees and exam costs: $45 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Shefali

  • Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Greetings from Juazeiro do Norte.

    • Sending love. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Varanasi but we're thinking of you!
