Last November I went through my partner leaving, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a medical coder in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $500 goes: • Rent top-up: $300 • Childcare and after-school care: $95 • Groceries and school meals: $90 • Course fees and exam costs: $15 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Arslan

Updates from Arslan

  1. Quick update: $219 raised so far (44%). I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Update from Lahore: we've started the first stage. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  • I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

    • Wishing you peace. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.

      • Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
