Back on our feet: Adel and three children under 10 in Shubra
Adel and three children under 10 need a bridge to stability after a sudden redundancy.

Since a sudden redundancy in August, I'm now raising three children under 10 on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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 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 $600 goes:
• Rent top-up: $240
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $105
• Course fees and exam costs: $105
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

I was skeptical at first, but this person proved to be reliable and genuinely interested in helping. Their response time was incredible and their solutions were practical.

how is Adel doing now?
Hang in there. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Good luck, Adel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. All the best.
Good luck, Adel. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Greetings from Mumbai.
hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Savannah.
