Nagpur

Last August I went through my partner leaving, 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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: • Rent top-up: $165 • Childcare and after-school care: $130 • Groceries and school meals: $95 • Course fees and exam costs: $60 Glad we found this place. - Keerthana

Sending good thoughts, Keerthana. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't give up. Greetings from Nairobi

Hope it all works out, Keerthana. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
