Back on our feet: Afshan and two young children in Faisalabad
Afshan and two young children need a bridge to stability after a divorce.
🇵🇰 Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan309 views
Since a divorce in July, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by September, 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:
• Rent top-up: $135
• Groceries and school meals: $120
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Afshan
Quick update: $70 raised so far (20%). I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Keep going. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 4 people at work. Take care.
