Sapna is a single parent of four children - help us after a house fire
A single parent in Madurai needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Sapna retrains.
🇮🇳 Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India980 views
Since a house fire in May, I'm now raising four children 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $500 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $125
• Rent top-up: $310
• Course fees and exam costs: $65
Thanks for being kind about this.
