Last November I went through a long illness, and I'm now raising a teenage son and a daughter in primary school on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries.
I'm retraining as a pharmacy technician in the evenings, which will triple my income by March, 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 $450 goes:
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Childcare and after-school care: $240
• Groceries and school meals: $140
Glad we found this place.
Updates from Samira
Wanted to say thank you properly. 60% funded and I made the first payment toward course fees and exam costs.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($124 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Praying for you, Samira. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Kyiv this morning. God bless.
Take care. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. Please keep us posted. All the best.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Tangier.
Best of luck, Samira. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Abuja.

So sorry you're going through this, Samira. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. Blessings.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in San Francisco but we're thinking of you.
