Last May I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, 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 July, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,200
• Childcare and after-school care: $690
• Groceries and school meals: $420
• Course fees and exam costs: $340
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Epe
Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 33 people at work. Greetings from Albany.
Hope things get better soon, Mukesh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Mukesh. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Mukesh. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Sacramento
