Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $320
• Childcare and after-school care: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
With deep gratitude,
Madhu

Praying for you, Madhu. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Varanasi
