Back on our feet: Sami and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Casablanca

Sami and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after my partner leaving.

Since my partner leaving in March, I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a part-time receptionist, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as an electrician in the evenings, which will triple my income by June, 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 $700 goes: • Rent top-up: $270 • Childcare and after-school care: $165 • Groceries and school meals: $145 • Course fees and exam costs: $120 Thank you for reading my story. - Sami

  1. Thank you all. We're at 77% now ($538). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Quick update: $170 raised so far (24%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. We're at 18% thanks to 3 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon. - Sami
