Last October I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $4,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,250 • Childcare and after-school care: $1,450 • Groceries and school meals: $760 • Course fees and exam costs: $890 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    • A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning.
