After the death of my husband in February, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $550 goes: • Rent top-up: $195 • Childcare and after-school care: $100 • Groceries and school meals: $190 • Course fees and exam costs: $65 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Snehal

    Hope it all works out, Snehal. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Contagem.

    • Wishing you the best, Snehal. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.

      • Good luck, Snehal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Ludhiana.

          Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Aurangabad but we're thinking of you. All the best!

          • Wishing you peace, Snehal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Wollongong donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
