Manisha and three children under 5 need a bridge to stability after the death of my husband.

Last March I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $220
• Childcare and after-school care: $180
• Groceries and school meals: $145
• Course fees and exam costs: $55
If you're reading this, thank you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Manisha?
Thank you. If you're in Pune I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Pune
So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Munich but we're thinking of you.
I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. We're a small family in Gwangju but we're thinking of you.
sending strength. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Iztapalapa but we're thinking of you. All the best.
