After the death of my husband in June, 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 dental nurse in the evenings, which will triple my income by October, 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 $650 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $175
• Groceries and school meals: $115
• Rent top-up: $360
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Take care, Samir. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
wishing you peace. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My neighbor in Toronto donated after I showed her your page. Love from Toronto
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Samir!
thanks for sharing this, Samir. Hope this works out for you. All the best
Take care, Samir. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Keep going, Samir. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope October is when things finally get easier.
Thinking of you and your family, Samir. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from San Nicolás de los Garza.
