Last April I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, 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 July, 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 $700 goes:
• Rent top-up: $210
• Childcare and after-school care: $185
• Groceries and school meals: $150
• Course fees and exam costs: $155
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Good luck. Shared this with my family. Love from Pretoria.
sending strength, Hamisi. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better.
hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Veracruz so I could bring a meal. Love from São Paulo.
wishing you the best, Hamisi. Hope you get there. All the best.
Take care. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Campinas so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. Love from Pretoria.
Best of luck, Hamisi. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Hope it all works out, Hamisi. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Put this on a community board in Jakarta this morning. All the best.
Hang in there, Hamisi. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Praying for you. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
