Back on our feet: Hiba and twin daughters in Dammam
After a house fire, Hiba is raising twin daughters alone and needs $2,650 to stay afloat for 6 months.

Since a house fire in August, 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 pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by December, 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 $2,650 goes:
• Rent top-up: $1,250
• Groceries and school meals: $660
• Childcare and after-school care: $740
If you're reading this, thank you.

Sending strength, Hiba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Rawalpindi so I could bring a meal
Stay strong, Hiba. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 20 people at work.
Hope things get better soon, Hiba. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this, Hiba. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Rosario.
Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Bristol but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending strength. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't give up. Greetings from Arlington
Stay strong, Hiba. Hope you get there. Sent it to 16 people at work. Blessings.
