Nashik
Last February I went through a sudden redundancy, and 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 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 $500 goes: • Groceries and school meals: $140 • Course fees and exam costs: $95 • Rent top-up: $265 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Viral

      So sorry you're going through this. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings

                I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Sydney.
