Back on our feet: Faisal and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Fez

Last June I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 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. Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown. Where the $800 goes: • Rent top-up: $430 • Groceries and school meals: $170 • Childcare and after-school care: $200 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Faisal
