A single father in Mangaluru needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Radha retrains.

Since the death of my husband in May, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 August, 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 $550 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $85
• Groceries and school meals: $160
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
Thank you for reading my story.

wishing you peace, Radha. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Radha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
