Since a divorce in December, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a teaching assistant in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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:
• Rent top-up: $160
• Childcare and after-school care: $170
• Groceries and school meals: $140
• Course fees and exam costs: $80
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Cologne.
Rooting for you, Priya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Marseille so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Chattogram.
Sending love, Priya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Saket so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Dallas
