After a long illness in May, I'm now raising three children under 9 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $260
• Childcare and after-school care: $195
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $45
Every share and every dollar helps.

everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Üsküdar this morning. Take care.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Nashik

Wishing you the best, Rajesh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Madina.
Sending good thoughts, Rajesh. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
shared it with a few friends. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Praying for you, Rajesh. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
