Rutuja is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a long illness
Rutuja and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇮🇳 India1,567 views
Since a long illness in February, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, 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 June, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $250
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
• Childcare and after-school care: $140
Thank you so much.
Updates from Rutuja
Quick update: $45 raised so far (10%). I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Update from Saket: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 4% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
