After a house fire in August, I'm now raising a toddler and a seven-year-old on my own. I work as a retail cashier, 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.
Every cent is accounted for. I'll share a simple monthly breakdown.
Where the $500 goes:
• Rent top-up: $290
• Childcare and after-school care: $85
• Groceries and school meals: $90
• Course fees and exam costs: $35
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 26 people at work. Thinking of Lahore!
Sending good thoughts, Mehwish. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Gazipur this morning. Take care
Thinking of you, Mehwish. I hope things turn around soon.
