Sunita and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a house fire.

Last June I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school 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 medical coder 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 $2,300 goes: • Childcare and after-school care: $1,050 • Groceries and school meals: $580 • Course fees and exam costs: $670 Thanks for being kind about this. - Sunita

Updates from Sunita

  1. Thank you all. We're at 24% now ($544). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals.

    Thinking of you and your family, Sunita. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Put this on a community board in Liverpool this morning. Love from Liverpool

    • Rina Tika Gunawan

      Wishing you peace. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.

        Praying for you. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My neighbor in Glasgow donated after I showed her your page. Love from Glasgow!
