Last March I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising two young children 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 medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, 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 $400 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
Thanks for reading all this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Padma.
Groceries and school meals is $130 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
Stay strong. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
