Help Vikas get through 5 hard months with four children
Vikas and four children need a bridge to stability after a long illness.

After a long illness in June, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $195
• Childcare and after-school care: $125
• Groceries and school meals: $170
• Course fees and exam costs: $160
With deep gratitude,
Vikas

So sorry you're going through this, Vikas. It takes guts to ask. Well done
This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Mumbai.
