Last March I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $3,500 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $840
• Childcare and after-school care: $1,400
• Rent top-up: $1,260
If you're reading this, thank you.

Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings
You're not alone, Suresh. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
Stay strong, Suresh. I hope things turn around soon
Praying for you, Suresh. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Bronx
you're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up.
