Back on our feet: Ali and two young children in Cairo
After a divorce, Ali is raising two young children alone and needs $500 to stay afloat for 3 months.

Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a bookkeeper in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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: $230
• Groceries and school meals: $130
• Course fees and exam costs: $140
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
