After a divorce in December, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by April, 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $300 • Childcare and after-school care: $110 • Groceries and school meals: $180 • Course fees and exam costs: $110 Thank you for reading my story. - Swapnil

Updates from Swapnil

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($90 in total) the plan for groceries and school meals is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. 11% there. I made the first payment toward groceries and school meals. Thank you.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 9% now ($60). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
