Back on our feet: Hira and twin daughters in Rawalpindi
A single father in Rawalpindi needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Hira retrains.
🇵🇰 Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan422 views
Since the death of my husband 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $400 goes:
• Rent top-up: $140
• Childcare and after-school care: $150
• Groceries and school meals: $70
• Course fees and exam costs: $40
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Best of luck. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Greetings from London.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Hira.
It's all in the list in the story. rent top-up is the big one at $140, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.
this could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Multan this morning. Thinking of Rawalpindi
Keep going, Hira. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Hira. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. After 21 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care!
Good luck, Hira. Hope you get there. Love from Alcalá de Henares
Wishing you peace, Hira. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Miami this morning.
a secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thanks for sharing this, Hira. I hope things turn around soon. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Rawalpindi
