Back on our feet: Aisha and twin daughters in Johannesburg
Aisha and twin daughters need a bridge to stability after a house fire.
🇿🇦 South Africa1,371 views
Since a house fire in June, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a hairdresser, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a web developer 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 $850 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $75
• Groceries and school meals: $180
• Rent top-up: $595
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
