Last June I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a care worker, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by August, 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 $350 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $115
• Groceries and school meals: $75
• Childcare and after-school care: $160
Thank you so much.

Wishing you the best, Babar. Your post was clear and honest. After 15 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings.
Hang in there, Babar. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
Hope things get better soon, Babar. Shared this with my family!
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Gujranwala.
Wishing you the best, Babar. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Kyiv.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Badagry
take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Gujranwala.
Stay strong, Babar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
Wishing you peace, Babar. Hope this works out for you. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from San Jose.
