Since a divorce in July, 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 a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $210
• Childcare and after-school care: $165
• Groceries and school meals: $115
• Course fees and exam costs: $110
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Take care, Payal. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Catania.
I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Pune.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Pune.
Praying for you, Payal. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Sending love. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Birmingham.
