Back on our feet: Imran and two young children in Johannesburg
After a house fire, Imran is raising two young children alone and needs $600 to stay afloat for 4 months.

Since a house fire in January, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a driver, 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 May, 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 $600 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $370
• Groceries and school meals: $135
• Course fees and exam costs: $95
With deep gratitude,
Imran

Hope it all works out, Imran. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Wollongong.
Wishing you the best, Imran. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
