Back on our feet: Lamia and three children under 5 in Dhaka
A single parent in Dhaka needs help with childcare, groceries and rent while Lamia retrains.

Last April I went through the death of my husband, and I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a hairdresser, 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 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $300 goes:
• Rent top-up: $160
• Groceries and school meals: $80
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
Every share and every dollar helps.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't give up. Love from Dodoma.
Thinking of you and your family, Lamia. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless.
Sending love, Lamia. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Sent it to 35 people at work.
