Umesh is a single parent of a toddler and a seven-year-old - help us after a sudden redundancy
Umesh and a toddler and a seven-year-old need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.
🇮🇳 Maharashtra, India323 views
Last August I went through a sudden redundancy, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a cleaner, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $350 goes:
• Groceries and school meals: $120
• Course fees and exam costs: $145
• Childcare and after-school care: $85
I hope life is good to you.

So sorry you're going through this, Umesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Good luck, Umesh. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Nagpur
