Last August I went through a divorce, and I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a care worker, 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 November, 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 $450 goes:
• Rent top-up: $150
• Childcare and after-school care: $145
• Groceries and school meals: $85
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Wishing you the best, Majid. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. Put this on a community board in Mysuru this morning. Love from Mysuru
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Thinking of Shubra.
Good luck, Majid. Looking forward to the next update. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Rooting for you, Majid. Hope this works out for you.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Majid!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rent top-up comes first ($150) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid.
hang in there, Majid. Shared it with a few friends. Take care.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Lagos.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Shubra.
Thanks for sharing this, Majid. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Shubra.
Good luck, Majid. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from El Paso
So sorry you're going through this, Majid. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Shubra.
