After a long illness in July, I'm now raising twin daughters on my own. I work as a driver, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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 $4,200 goes: • Rent top-up: $2,150 • Childcare and after-school care: $800 • Groceries and school meals: $780 • Course fees and exam costs: $470 Thank you for reading my story. - Anna

        Sending good thoughts, Anna. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best

        • It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Giza donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
