Back on our feet: Sana and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school in Lahore
Sana and a teenage son and a daughter in primary school need a bridge to stability after a long illness.
🇵🇰 Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan1,766 views
Last August 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 part-time receptionist, 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 $350 goes:
• Rent top-up: $200
• Course fees and exam costs: $70
• Groceries and school meals: $80
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care!

keep going, Sana. Your post was clear and honest. Wish I lived closer to Saint-Denis so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there. Looking forward to the next update. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Lahore.
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out

So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Dammam.

Take care, Sana. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
