Bogra
Since a sudden redundancy in July, I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a retail cashier, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a dental nurse 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 $200 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $50 • Childcare and after-school care: $90 • Groceries and school meals: $60 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rahim

        Hang in there. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
