Srinivas and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last April I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $160
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Srinivas?
Wishing you the best, Srinivas. Hope you get there. Thinking of Bengaluru.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. Please keep us posted. Greetings from Nashik!
Praying for you, Srinivas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
