Meenakshi is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after my partner leaving
Meenakshi and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.
🇮🇳 Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India1,738 views
Last September 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 part-time receptionist, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $550 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $90
• Rent top-up: $340
• Childcare and after-school care: $120
If you're reading this, thank you.
