Help Trupti get through 3 hard months with four children

Trupti and four children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

Last August I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising four children 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 dental nurse 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 $750 goes: โ€ข Rent top-up: $320 โ€ข Childcare and after-school care: $230 โ€ข Groceries and school meals: $150 โ€ข Course fees and exam costs: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Trupti

  1. Thank you all. We're at 43% now ($321). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward rent top-up.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 84% now ($631). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for course fees and exam costs is now scheduled.

    Sending strength, Trupti. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Ludhiana.

    • Christian Washington

      Hope it all works out, Trupti. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Brisbane so I could bring a meal. Take care

      • Intan Dinda Kartika

        Praying for you, Trupti. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best

          sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.

          • Yasmin Nadia Ismail

            stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking!
