Since a house fire in June, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 September, 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:
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Rent top-up: $330
• Groceries and school meals: $150

Sending good thoughts, Sanjay. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Thane.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 21 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Thane!
Rooting for you, Sanjay. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
So sorry you're going through this, Sanjay. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Medan donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Thinking of you, Sanjay. Hope you get there. Take care
