Jeddah
After a house fire in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by November, 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 $2,350 goes: • Rent top-up: $1,150 • Childcare and after-school care: $590 • Groceries and school meals: $320 • Course fees and exam costs: $290 Thank you so much. - Amal

    Sending love. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      You're not alone, Amal. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Jeddah.

                Hope things get better soon, Amal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
