Since a house fire in August, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 October, 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 $3,750 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,150
• Course fees and exam costs: $450
• Rent top-up: $2,150
Thanks for reading all this.

Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Cincinnati
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Pune but we're thinking of you. Take care.
