After a divorce in July, I'm now raising two young 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 medical coder 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:
• Course fees and exam costs: $100
• Childcare and after-school care: $155
• Rent top-up: $195
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Rania?
Thank you. If you're in Heliopolis I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Good luck. I hope things turn around soon. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Rania.
Course fees and exam costs is $100 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
so sorry you're going through this, Rania. Hope you get there.
You're not alone. Rent stress is the worst. Hope this helps. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Heliopolis
how is Rania doing now?

Keep going. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in Ikeja but we're thinking of you. Love from Ikeja.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Juiz de Fora but we're thinking of you. Take care.
take care, Rania. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
