Shankar is a single parent of four children - help us after the death of my husband
A single parent in Nagpur needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Shankar retrains.

After the death of my husband in November, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by February, 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 $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $160
• Childcare and after-school care: $120
• Course fees and exam costs: $120
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending good thoughts. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal
Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Ogbomosho this morning. Blessings.
Rooting for you. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
