Padma is a single parent of three children under 12 - help us after a house fire
Padma and three children under 12 need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India840 views
Last August I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising three children under 12 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $250
• Childcare and after-school care: $85
• Groceries and school meals: $200
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

How is Padma doing now?
Hang in there, Padma. This could happen to any of us. It's not much but it's yours. Love from George.
