Last March I went through a house fire, and I'm now raising four children on my own. I work as a driver, 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.
Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts.
Where the $600 goes:
• Childcare and after-school care: $135
• Rent top-up: $350
• Groceries and school meals: $115
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near 6th of October City
Thank you. If you're in 6th of October City I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
looking forward to the next update. Love from Mthatha.
I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. After 11 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
You're not alone. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
keep going, Walid. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
