Having to beg for food from neighbours for survival.
Hello Everyone, I'm making this post on the behalf of u/Euphoric_Subject_218, he texted me from my Zomatao AMA post to enquire about the job details. I talked to him further and got to know his gut-wrenching everyday struggles so I decided to share this with y'all and get some help. He has to collect leftovers from his neighbours to eat. He has had a very tough childhood as his dad passed away when he was only four. His mother is totally dependent on him. I'm pasting his story which I had asked him to post but it got deleted due to low Karma. His Text: My current condition, options and attemts. Share your thoughts if you understand. I'm 21, 10th fail, self dropped out of school because of poor survival/quality of life. Dad passed away since i was 4, no connections, no relatives, only a mother, and she worked minimum wage housemaid jobs till i was 15, after that the people where my mom worked started helping us by giving us leftover foods 2 times like lunch and dinner, and it became a habit for my mom, she stopped making food and working all together. and i was okay till that time, living cheap not having a nice childhood & school life, doing home chores like pani bharna, food collecting, cleaning etc. the reason why i couldn't pursue education is doing all this home chores with poor diet and trauma that came from being the poor kid, i thought if i need something for myself i need to do job now, and i was in govt. school so most of my school life was restricted like everytime i used to do something (masti or talking ) an impolite warning came over my head that your Freeship will be cancelled. basically it was hard, but i thought i can barely afford school, how am i gonna afford a college degree or anything plus i was 16 at that time in 2019, i thought i can do job now to have atleast average life and live a little, keep in mind that seems like a sob story / victim mindset but I'm just trying to ask something, and its easy for people to just say that do a nice job ex- 10k a month labour job and provide and be cool. I've heard this phrase my whole life, the problem is now my mother is completely dependent and if i start providing by exchanging my time for money I'll just stay in the loop and waste my youth for survival. not to mention the amount of stress i had in my brain having lived this life and now i wanna get out of this and i want peace and happiness for once. i don't wanna live my life just for food and survival i want to live. this codependency of a family member and also doing home chores that your parent mom should do so you can focus on your career, i don't have that privilege. I'm not blaming, I'm finally get out of this trauma, and I'm trying to do gig jobs like zomato, blinkit, while also trying to work on myself and take care of basic home expenses. but i have 3 goals for the future, low maintenance job that doesn't take a toll on my health like crazy labour does. high to moderate earning (if i earn 20k a month that'll be enough for now to improve my standard of living, like have some time and good food to eat rather than leftovers. and some peace to see the time and living my life. i have thought about resuming my education and starting diploma and college but I'm afraid how I'm going to pay for it, instead I'll make better use of that money in savings to buy 1 BHK own home on emi or something, but prioritising peace over hustle and not overworking like crazy wasting time of this life for money and seeing money for what it really is, i iust need good hot food everyday, and shelter of a home. I'm currently working minimum wage job my salary is 4k inr a month working 4 hours a day / 7 days a week. I'm not working crazy labour job like 10k inr a month cuz I can't collect the leftover food i have to collect every noon and night & do home chores while simultaneously trying ot make sense of this and be sane (it's low maintenance for me and i can do home work too) i have to do job in the neighborhood local shop, and I'm working part time to have some time on my hands, but I'll shift to this delivery jobs for they pay better and no boss over you, and basically it fits the preference. i still have a lot of work to do but i think I'll be able to. thank-you for reading this long and if you have spare clothes you don't use anymore you can send them to me via courier I'll appreciate your help, thankyou so much for your time and your understanding.4
