Sunita and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
Anywhere in the world557 views
Since a divorce in June, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $450 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
• Groceries and school meals: $200
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Sunita. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update
Good luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Pune donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Mangaluru.
Wishing you peace, Sunita. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to London so I could bring a meal. Blessings
is there anything that isn't money that would help Sunita?
Thank you. If you're in Mangaluru I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
So sorry you're going through this, Sunita. This could happen to any of us.
Hang in there, Sunita. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Mangaluru
best of luck, Sunita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from San Francisco
gave what I could, wish it was more. Greetings from Fort Worth.
Wishing you peace. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Take care. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Giza.
