After a house fire in August, I'm now raising two young children on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $145
• Childcare and after-school care: $85
• Groceries and school meals: $60
• Course fees and exam costs: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Mubashir. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Rawalpindi!
Stay strong, Mubashir. Shared this with my family. Don't give up
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mubashir!
Hope it all works out, Mubashir. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon
Praying for you, Mubashir. Your post was clear and honest. Love from 6th of October City.
So sorry you're going through this, Mubashir. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you, Mubashir. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
Sending strength. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
